Our Advanced classes are designed for budding young actors aged 7- 16 years who want to further their skills in drama and performance, beyond their regular Light UP Company or Light UP Class or current drama training.
Our Advanced groups take part in extra opportunities and performance projects.
Each year our students have the opportunity to take an optional LAMDA exam, work with other Advanced groups to perform a challenging play at UP Studios, improve their acting and audition skills, and much much more.
Our members also benefit from an exclusive workshop with a professional visiting company, and have access to other information and audition opportunities through our closed Facebook group.
Cost breaks down to £6.50 per class for the general public, or £5 for Light UP members (to be paid every half term).
Please note that due to Covid, drop off and pick up times may be adjusted by up to 10 minutes to allow for social distancing and cleaning.
