About the Minack Academies
Our Minack Academies help young people to develop advanced theatre skills. Specialising either in Acting or Musical Theatre, you will spend one day a month working with professional practitioners and engage with visiting speakers, such as directors, actors and West End stars, talking about practical theatre careers.
The Minack Academies are suitable for students in Year 7 and above, though mature, self-motivated Year 5+ may also audition and will be considered.
The Acting Academy
As a member of the Acting Academy your training will include a one to one singing lesson each month. We actively encourage all Academy members to take part in productions in addition to their academy time. We also expect members of both academies to seek tuition in all areas of the theatre that they attend regularly. The work they do with the academy is to enhance their work elsewhere.
The Acting Academy can also help you prepare for Trinity College Examinations in drama.
The Musical Theatre Academy
As a member of the Musical Theatre Academy you will delve into all aspects of musical theatre required to become a triple threat. We actively encourage all academy members to take part in productions in addition to their academy time. We also expect members of both academies to seek tuition in all areas of the theatre that they attend regularly. The work they do with the academy is to enhance their work elsewhere.
