Why train with us?
At the Australian Acting Academy, world class acting classes is just the tip of the iceberg! It's not so much what we do, but how we do it that makes our acting classes for kids and teens the best in Brisbane and the Gold Coast. We take great pride in providing our students with a safe, supportive, encouraging environment in which to take creative risks.
Our acting classes are designed to help students build confidence, self-esteem, teamwork skills, creative problem solving and emotional expression.
The thing your child will love about the Acting Academy is not WHAT we teach, but HOW we do it.
At the AAA acting classes and holiday workshops, they will be seen, listened to, and cared for. They will be made to feel safe enough to grow. They will be encouraged to push past what they already can do, and to make mistakes so that they can learn new skills.
While there is a set of acting skills that we will be developing each term, every class is treated as a unique tribe with a unique set of learning edges.
The Safety Net
The core of all of our classes is our Safety Net Philosophy. Your child will be joining their classmates in an agreement to totally support each other, to create safe places to take creative risks.
We hear from some families that this is the first time that they have experienced anything this supportive. Having a chance to learn and practice in this philosophy is why people keep coming back
