The class caters for participants at any level of experience and encourages them to build confidence and feel at ease in performance; whether you’re stepping onto a stage for the first time or looking to continue developing your creative practice or your career, the class is welcoming to all.

These classes will also serve as pathway for Chris’ Light That Candle Project – where Chris writes and directs a play especially for an invited group of participants.
