Things are getting very Christmassy… and very SPECTACULARLY, here, at EPIC!🎄❄️⛄️❤️

The first thing we mostly hear on a Saturday morning from our brilliant pupils… “WOW, LOOK AT MY SHOES!!” 🥹🥰
It’s become a real thing - we love it!!👞 👟

“Camping you say? But it’s November! 🧊 ❄️ ☃️ “
“Did we mention our pupils are Epic? This means they can be transported to endless places, simply by using their imagination! 💭 Just one reason why we 👏🏻 love 👏🏻 acting!👏🏻“

We’re going camping this week in class - we can’t wait! 🏕

Our pupils are also working really hard on their Christmas sharing - rehearsals will continue this week, woo!!!! 🎉 (We are beyond proud of all of you! 🖤)

So pack your imaginary camping bag, and don’t miss out on all the FUN! 🏕💭

🖤🎨’Colour/calm’ 🎨 🖤

Acting, singing and creating ignites the excitement in all of our little stars! But towards the end of class we feel it’s important to incorporate ‘colour/calm’. This allows our pupils to take a moment to re-focus, breathe, and concentrate. ‘Colour/calm’ is always centred around our adventure time! So for example, last week we were on a mission to find Larry the magical lobster. As part of the adventure, pupils were asked to colour in pictures of Larry the Lobster and stick them around the town so people could find him! 🦞(We found him, thanks superstars!!!) 🎭🎼

🎨Colour/calm also allows our pupils to find time to connect with one another, forming friendships which we just LOVE to see! 🖤

Don’t miss out on all the fun! ⬇️⬇️

“The only thing better than singing? Is more singing 🖤”

🌟 Using the festive tunes of our ‘EPIC Christmas Spectacular’, our superstars will learn this week how we tell stories through songs! 🎙

🌟 As well as learning the anatomy of the ‘singing voice’, our stars will learn how to connect with the words of songs, and how to express different emotion through singing!🎤

Because is there anything more FUN than singing your way through the morning? 🎶

See you there, superstars!! 🎭 🎼

*Excited feet* 💃🕺

At EPIC we’re passionate about giving our pupils an insight into the Acting industry. We are SO excited to be working with Casting expert Stephanie Hume as part of our upcoming film project ‘GHOSTLY GREETINGS!’ 🎬👻

Our film will be sent to Stephanie who will watch each of our pupils performances on screen, and will provide individual feedback for each performer - how EXCITING!!!! 🎬

Stephanie is based in London and has worked extensively in Casting Actors for roles both in theatre and on screen. She also works as Industry liaison in some of the top drama schools in London.

Read more about Stephanie’s exciting journey into Casting:

⭐️ Stephanie is a freelance Casting Director based in London specializing in theatre, film, commercial and corporate work. She has been involved in casting for 8 years having initially trained as an actor at The Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts.

After a periodic tussle with her own casting as a graduating actor, Stephanie set to work exploring what casting meant and what worked and what didn’t. This resulted in a fervent passion for putting actors in the right roles and discovering exciting talent. She started finding work in casting and has never looked back! Stephanie believes that her training as an actor has given her the intuition, understanding and appreciation of actors needed to deliver really attentive and passionate casting.

Notable credits include the Royal Television Society and EVCOM award winning short film KAYLEIGH’S LOVE STORY, Bolton Film Festival (Winner Best UK Film) award winning short film DAUGHTER, Unchosen Charity Film Competition (judged by Ken Loach) award winning short film SLAVED and the Offie Award winning play THE GLASSHOUSE (Grindstone London, Tristan Bates Theatre, Covent Garden). Stephanie was also Casting Assistant for the Offie nominated world premiere of Philip Ridley’s new show ANGRY at the Southwark Playhouse starring Georgie Henley and Tyrone Huntley.

Stephanie has strong links with theatre and arts hub 53Two in Manchester as well as video production agencies, Affixxius Films and Big Button.

In addition to casting, Stephanie also works as an Industry Liaison Manager for drama schools, a role she very much enjoys. Currently at the Fourth Monkey Actor Training Company and previously at Italia Conti Acting for 6 years. She also delivers casting workshops and sessions on independent reflection for actors at other institutions, including Drama Studio London, HOME Manchester and Identity School of Acting. ⭐️

Boo to you, from the EPIC crew! 👻 🎬

Calling all story-tellers ages 8-16!

Are you interested in writing, acting, and learning about the process of film making?

Want to write, and be the star of your own Halloween story?

This Autumn, work with an award winning film-maker, be seen by a renowned London casting director AND be the star of your very own Halloween story!

This Halloween EPIC is teaming up with multi-award winning film maker Michael Costello to produce a short comedy, 'GHOSTLY GREETINGS!'

Our budding writers/actors are asked to write their own comedic Halloween story, under the theme 'GHOSTLY GREETINGS!' Interpret this how you wish... but most importantly, keep it creative, and funny! (A hint of spook is fine, but we are not after scary!) What we're really searching for is authenticity with lots and lots of comedy - so use your own voice when writing it, as you will be the one telling the story to the camera!

Our writers/actors are asked to keep stories to a maximum of 2 minutes long, and to submit them across to the film camp Director Eimear O'Neill on: [email protected] by the 30th of September.

The camp takes place over 4 Friday evenings.

During the film camp, you will workshop your stories with EPIC's Director Eimear O'Neill (whose writing has been shortlisted by BBC Northern Ireland's Comedy room, featured in Popelei Theatre and been nominated for an OnComm award) for three weeks. On the final fourth week, get behind the camera where you will act out your own story in front of a professional film maker!

All stories will be combined and edited into a short film, which will then be sent to London Casting Director Stephanie Hume who will watch and provide individual feedback for each performer.

The film will also be sent to parents who can keep the footage of their child performing forever!

This is an excellent chance to establish film industry connections, and to have your writing/acting developed professionally. And did we mention... have a whole lot of fun?

Visit the link before for more information and book your space on our four week film camp today! 👻 🎬
