At Performers Theatre Company, part of our vision is to 'give our young people the chance to work with industry professionals through workshops and masterclasses'. We believe it to be hugely important that children, whether they are enrolled at Performers or not, are given experiences that allow them to work with professionals that have differing experiences, ideas and skills from our teachers; it adds further thrill and excitement for our children and widens their horizons. 

 

Performers will aim to offer regular workshops/masterclasses throughout the academic year to all children (enrolled or not).

​

On Saturday 5th and Saturday 12th October 2024, we welcome well-renowned director Phil Hawkins and professional actress Jessica Blake to Performers Theatre Company for two incredible Acting for Film masterclasses!

The focus of the session will be a professional insight into acting for film and television, learning all the techniques and skills necessary to thrive in front of the camera. Children will also develop a real knowledge of professional auditions and Spotlight - the largest casting resource in the UK and used by thousands of production companies, agencies and casting directors.

Phil is a commercial, television and independent film director from Manchester, United Kingdom. His work in feature film includes Prancer: A Christmas Tale (2022) and Robin And The Hoods (2024). He is also known for appearing in the Fox/DreamWorks reality television show On The Lot produced by Steven Spielberg.

Jessica is an experienced actor of film, television and voice. After her debut in a feature film Philip Pullman adaptation, her career has featured work in indie films, commercials and radio drama for the BBC. She has just completed shooting on the feature film Robin And The Hoods (Sky) and can be seen in the role of Sally in Prancer: A Christmas Tale (Universal/Sky), alongside James Cromwell. She regularly works alongside Phil.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work with current industry professionals who know the business and how it all works!
