The Lir Academy is proud to launch a brand new range of Saturday classes designed for young people aged 12-14 who are looking to take the next step in their actor training journey.
Designed by Roger Evans, The Lir Academy’s Director of Short Courses and delivered by The Lir Academy’s Short Course tutor team these Saturday acting classes will focus on the core elements of acting training delivered at The Lir Academy.
This course offers teens with a passion for musical theatre an opportunity to develop the fundamental techniques required to perform in Musical Theatre – focusing on areas including Acting, Voice, Movement and Text. 

This intensive immersion in musical theatre
will help students build confidence, develop both new & existing skills in a collaborative
environment.
During the course students will work with a singing tutor & musical director, musical theatre director and choreographer, to develop their singing, dance and performance skills.
Participants will work on new solo pieces, duets or trios and ensemble numbers.
