The Young Actors Group will run weekly
two hour drama classes for children and teenagers aged 8 -16 in Brighton and the South East.
The vision of the group is to equip young actors with the
confidence and character to succeed in the acting business and beyond. founder,
Ben Murray-Watson said:
"We have a unique curriculum looking at all aspects of acting, from film and stage acting to writing and improvisation.
"With just 16 young actors per class they can all be guaranteed the individual attention they need."
As a father himself, he is keen to give a full support and consultancy service to all the parents whose children attend.
Ben added:
"The acting world is full of complexities and we want to make sure parents feel supported at every stage of their child"s development as an actor."
The Young Actors Group is backed by actress, Dakota Blue Richards, who at the age of 11 won the role of Lyra in The Golden Compass.
Dakota Blue Richards added:
"I'm so proud to be part of this group that will offer young people the opportunity to learn and prepare for the world of professional acting."
The Young Actors Group will be launching this summer with auditions at
the Emporium Theatre on
August 17th and 23rd with a view to starting classes in September 2014.
A term costs £172.00 and The Young Actors Group are looking to enter into partnerships with local businesses to support parents who can"t afford the full fees.
