How The II Stage Course Works To see upcoming Stage I & II Workshops please click here or scroll down.

New terms commence every 7 weeks and runs over a 6 week period. Classes are one evening per week, 3-4 hrs in duration. There are two stages:

STAGE I - Learning the Tools
STAGE II - Refining the Tools


Each student is allocated to one of these stages based on an initial interview/audition with the Principal. The length of time that a client spends in a particular stage will depend on his/her progress, to be decided by mutual agreement between the Principal, the relevant teachers and the student him/herself. It is understood that the Principal shall have the final say in the matter. In general, the maximum number of terms within a particular stage is set at three. Some clients may spend less, depending on the pace at which they learn and develop. Some clients may have a particular problem area they need to work on; some may simply need to 'refresh' already aquired skills, some may be specifically interested in working with one of our tutors (all industry professionals); someone may have an important casting or audition coming up and require private tuition. In such cases, clients may prefer to do just one 6 week term, or as many terms as they like. Coming and going as it suits them.
