All the world's a stage... and for the next five weeks, ours stretches from Victoria to Tasmania and all the way through New South Wales.
Our touring team is officially on the road, delivering Shakespeare and Well-Being productions to schools across three states.
Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. Our actors just have a lot of kilometres thrust upon them.
Wish them luck! 🎭🚐💨

A film we made alongside Continuance Pictures. and Sandy Pictures, is making it's Australian Premiere at the Gold Coast Film Festival.
With a star studded cast from the likes of The One Shu (Shuang Hu - Five Blind Dates on Amazon Prime ), Isabella Procida, Charles Cottier (Home & Away, The Demon Disorder), Peter Thurnwald (XO Kitty), George Pullar (It Only Takes a Night, Stonefish), and many more local talents - it's a project we're very proud to have been apart of.
Our long time producing partner Tristan Barr at the helm in the director's chair, did wonderful work alongside Director of Photography Julian Panetta to create an eerily Australian Gothic planescape that will suck audiences into the world.
Our Artistic Director, Matthew Caffoe, also stars in this feature and makes their first feature film debut as the Irish Catholic Priest burdened with knowledge he shouldn't posess, Father Muldoon.
We're super proud of everyone involved in getting this over the line, from the writers, to the cast and crew and the creatives and producers pushing this forward.
We're keen to see everyone this Friday, 24th April for the Premiere of Deathkeeper.
DEATHKEEPER — PREMIERE THIS FRIDAY 🔥
5:30PM — Red Carpet
6:30PM — Screening + Q&A
Matt Caffoe plays Father Muldoon will be joining after apart of the Q&A.
Shot on the outskirts of Brisbane and the Gold Coast, the film blends horror, romance and the supernatural with a throwback to the Noughties. At its core, it’s about love and loss.
Made fully independently, with a small local team.
Come experience it with us. Tickets via the website.

A Scene from Midsommar (2019)
Two angles. One camera. Same scene.
Our students were challenged last term to remain still and seated in their performance. Their impulse was to move around, as the screen direction asked them. It wasn't easy - but Zac and Alisha did a fantastic job here.
Authenticity and consistency was our primary focus for Term 1 classes. Taking notes. Adjusting. Keeping it grounded.
Don't attack the words - let the moments sit. Give breath to the work. Play in the moment, don't think ahead.
It’s not perfect. It’s a bit clunky in places. But it’s real enough.
PS: Apologies for the sound tweaking - scratch audio ran through a vocoder so it was at least bearable to listen to. This was just for training, anyway. Not for mass consumption.
Term 2 enrolments are now open for our Screen Acting Classes for Teens! If this is the kind of acting work you want to do, raw and focused - sign up!

Big effort all round this term 👏
To all the students, from our classes to schools across Australia, who showed up, pushed through, learned new skills, and backed themselves, congratulations on making it through Term 1. That first stretch of the year is no joke, and you’ve earned the reset.
And a huge shoutout to our touring legends, Kyle and Amanda, who have been out on the road delivering shows, workshops, and Q&As across schools. Early starts, long drives, and bringing the energy every single time – absolute professionals.
We’ll see you ready to go again for Term 2 🎭
