The ARC Studio is a safe place where every person can enhance their individual agency for growth and change, extend their artistic reach and discover the depths of their personal spirit through artistic practice. In a world that is slowly emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic, nothing could be more vital.

Whilst we had to pause as our society came to terms with the COVID-19 pandemic, The ARC Acting Studio is now firmly back for the remainder of its third year of operation.  Applying the best principles of COVID-safe behaviour, The ARC Studio engages in the fundamental awareness of each human being as a specific soul on a journey.  We celebrate diversity and individuality and unlock the raw essence of each person, each actor and each being in a safe and supportive way whilst developing techniques and ways of performance that are suitable for stage, screen and new media.

Be a part of the wonderful revolution of the remaking of you. Find your way to become a storyteller, a connector, an empowerer of yourself and of others through your connection to yourself, to the story, the text and your fellow artists and the audience.

Unlock your potential through an acting craft that has a lineage that stretches back to the great masters but also looks forward into new ways of being.

From the later methodologies of uber wunderkind Stanislavsky, the visionary beliefs of Vakhtangov and Michael Chekhov, The ARC Acting Studio at its various levels offers you the opportunity to develop your own personal craft or performance technique.

Explore the concept of "isness": a personal authenticity and a way of being in the now, of a real internal connection and presence that is both personal, playful, performative and incredibly joyous.

Discover your role as a story teller, dreamer, believer, individualist!  Be seen for who you really are.

In a world that is still dealing with Covid19, The Curator's ARC Acting Workshops offer adults a covid safe opportunity to engage in developing your personal voice, creativity, confidence and self-awareness through dynamic acting and performance workshops in a place of personal respect, adventure and self-esteem.

An ARC Studio SPECIAL EVENT

Due to COVID-19, we had to postpone The ARC STUDIO’S Professional Training Ensemble production of Timberlake Wertenbaker’s amazing epic revenge tragedy, THE LOVE OF THE NIGHTINGALE. With new eyes, we will bring this production to you later in the year.

Based on Ovid’s classic tale of lust and transformation, this is a timely revival filled with gut wrenching physicality and emotion.
