ACTING FOR TELEVISION, FILM & THEATRE
Our teaching is at the cutting edge of what is happening in the television, film and theatre industry today. We aim to equip both children and adults with the necessary skills and techniques required for performance whether for television and film or theatre (including musical theatre).
Acting techniques taught by PSC are grounded in Stanislavsky, Sanford Meisner, Lee Strasberg and Michael Chekov, while teaching contemporary and modern television and film acting derived from leading industry professionals including ITV and BBC directors and world renowned acting coaches: Mel Churcher (Daniel Craig, Angelina Jolie and Jude Law) and Jeremiah Comey (Billy Zane, Johnny Knoxville and Kayla Ewell).
Children’s classes cover a broad spectrum of acting skills, including: character development, improvisation, concentration and focus, vocal projection, interpreting texts for both stage and screen, the embodiment of a character, alongside confidence building and self esteem.
Parker and Snell Company believes that a strong grounding in acting and acting techniques, serves to create a rounded and versatile performer, from realism acting (which is required for the camera), to physical characterization (required for theatre).
All of our students have the option to work towards LAMDA (London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art) graded exams in both acting and performance.
TUTORS
All of our tutors have either trained (formerly IOM Acting Academy) or worked with Parker & Snell Company extensively.
Visiting professionals include: June West (ITV casting director), Mel Churcher (A list acting coach), Kieran Griffiths (Shameless, The Street), Simon Powell (independent film director), William Ash (Waterloo Road, Hush), Michelle Holmes (Rita, Sue & Bob Too, Coronation Street, Above Suspicion) Peter Hunt (acting coach ALRA) and Matthew Bannister (RADA tutor and actor).
CHILDREN’S CLASSES
Our children’s classes aim to develop a fully grounded and versatile performer, equipping children with the skills required for performance on both stage and screen.
A focus on developing a child’s instinct and intuition, while teaching the discipline required for theatre and television performance, is paramount to PSC teaching. We aim to instil a confidence and esteem which will not only enhance a child’s performance skills but will also enhance their social and personal interaction skills.
Acting for screen will also feature as part of the course, enabling children to understand the basic elements required when filming for either television or film.
Parker & Snell Company is now a registered private centre for LAMDA (London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art) offering all students the option to work towards graded exams in acting and performance. Further information can be found at: www.lamda.org.uk examinations page.
Many of our students have been cast in a number of theatre productions (lead roles) including: Peter Pan, Shrek the Musical, The Jungle Book, Edelweiss Pirates, Sleeping Beauty the Pantomime, 101 Dalmatians, Oliver by Taylorian Productions, The Wizard of Oz Pantomime by JT Productions & Elf the Musical. Students have also been cast in Where Hands Touch, a feature film directed by Amma Assante.
All acting classes and LAMDA sessions take place in the Villa Arcade, Harris Promenade, Douglas and the South Douglas Old Friends Association, Finch Road Douglas.
