We have had such a long running relationship with this wonderful Soap Opera, starting with our very own Artistic Director @craigmcmahon76 who played Jack Foster on the show some 30 years ago alongside Jesse Spencer and Brooke Satchwell.

Our fondest memories as a company (aside from having so many series regulars on the show - and seeing so many of our actors launched onto the international stage as a result of visiting Ramsay Street) is touring all over the country and internationally throughout London, Manchester, Belfast & Dublin with original Casting Director @janruss7390 some 20 years ago. Great times.

A huge “thank-you” to Executive Producer @jasonherbison and Casting Director @mcleod_casting for their huge support of emerging actors and giving new talent a platform to showcase their work.

Neighbours has touched us all in some way, shape or form. It will be missed.

“WHO YOU ARE as a HUMAN-BEING is what will speak

“WHO YOU ARE as a HUMAN-BEING is what will speak for you as an ACTOR on CAMERA or on a STAGE. When an Actor hears the command, ‘ACTION!’ No one can fill that next MOMENT. Nobody else can jump in front of the camera, or onto the stage to do it for you. YOU are IT! Therefore as an Actor you need to be 100% PRESENT in the moment, CENTERED in YOURSELF, in CHARGE of your CRAFT, and the STORY you have been CHOSEN to HELP tell.

This MASTERCLASS will offer you an EXPERIENCE to leave with along with TOOLS for your future use. Our weekend will be INTENSE and IMPACTFUL, but also INTIMATE, and should be considered PRIVATE. NO PHONES will be allowed in Class. Even if you are not standing on the stage, you will still be working sitting in your seat. You will PREPARE a 3-4 minute MONOLOGUE that you believe SHOWCASES who you are and what you have to OFFER as an Actor. I look forward to working with you” -
