The Covid-19 Pandemic forced us into adapting a new form of teaching. We recognised that our students move at a quick rate in terms of confidence and development. Our students portray enthusiasm and hard work when taking on the tasks presented to them.

Our lessons approach learning by concentrating on vocal exercises, different aspects of facial expression, body language and movement with a naturalistic feel. We have lessons based on character development in monologues. Students can have the option to perform as part of LAMDA examination for solo dramatic performances, duologues or musical theatre monologues. Additional lessons include singing, accents, presenting skills, scriptwriting and voice over work.

Online lessons further highlight strengths in areas that may need individual attention. Shine Performing Arts teaching will support students with self taping preparations for auditioning and castings. Lessons will further support professional roles, competing in drama festivals or exams.

Online sessions can be booked as a course or alternatively on an ad hoc basis. Prior to an examination or casting we recommend booking a session to increase chances of success.
