Beginners acting classes, no-experience drop-ins, confidence-building workshops and screen training. Terms run in September, January and April, with short courses and workshops in between. Cork's newest and funnest acting studio opens September 2026!
Zero experience, zero pressure. The gentle way in for any adult who's always said “I'd love to try that.”
Our flagship beginners acting course. 8 weeks of games, warm-ups, improvisation and your first proper scene work — no scripts thrown at you on night one. You'll learn how to breathe, stand, listen and mean it, and finish with a short scene performed for nobody but the group.
No commitment. Turn up, play a few games, leave lighter than you came in. Drop-ins welcome, but if you can book in advance we'd appreciate it!
Our weekly open drop-in, every Friday from 7:30pm until 10pm. A rolling mix of improv, scene snippets, movement and voice. Different every week, never the same room twice. Pay as you go — and while it's a drop-in, a quick booking beforehand helps us keep the group a sensible size.
You've a tape due but no tripod, loud housemates and no reader. Our small self-taping studio might answer your prayers.

Two days with Megan Burns. Your agent wants you more bookable — this is how you get there.
Coming October 2026. A two-day deep dive into a General American accent that holds up under pressure: placement, rhythm, vowel maps, and the small tells that give a Cork actor away on tape. Built for working and semi-professional actors who want to be competitive for US and international casting. Places are limited — register your interest now and we'll get you first refusal on a spot.
A friendly, low-pressure class in speaking up, being heard, and enjoying your own voice.
A six-week programme for adults aged 55 and over. Games, gentle scene work, voice exercises and plenty of laughter — all designed to build confidence, communication and connection. No performance pressure, just a welcoming room and a chance to have a go.
A low-pressure drama class for adults who find traditional group settings draining. No forced participation, no surprise call-outs.
A 6-week programme for neurodivergent adults, anxious adults, and anyone who wants to build social confidence through creative play. Each session follows a predictable structure, offers choices in every exercise, and never puts anyone on the spot. We use drama games, voice work, gentle improvisation and short scenes — with explicit rules, fidget-friendly space, and the option to watch before joining in. This is a creative class, not therapy or medical support.
