Ciné Acting is a complete screen acting training programme, suitable for students who are new to acting as well those with previous experience in drama or screen performance. No prior acting training is required. Training starts with the Foundation Stage and is completed with the Advanced Stage. Together, the two Stages form one continuous training journey, from camera fundamentals to fully realised scene work, filmed using professional screen practice. 
 
The Foundation Stage develops core screen acting skills, camera confidence, and professional on-set awareness, while the Advanced Stage deepens the work through scene study, character development, extended scene work and a professionally filmed final outcome. 
 
Ciné Acting is designed as a continuous training programme, with the Foundation Stage followed by the Advanced Stage to complete the learning journey. Completing both stages consecutively is recommended in order to gain the full benefit of the training and progression.
 
Students are also welcome to enrol in the Foundation Stage on its own, with the option to continue on to the Advanced Course at a later stage. Both routes support the same goal: confident, camera-ready young performers with professional screen experience.
