THE Devonport A.R.E.A ACTING PROGRAM
Presented to you by HAUS CREATIVE
Welcome to Term 3, 2026 of our Acting Program! This year, we are excited to offer a broader range of acting and industry experiences for our students. We’ll continue building foundational skills through improv, script work, and theatre games, but we’ll also introduce one-off workshop-style lessons exploring different areas of acting and theatre, including script writing, film, makeup, musical theatre dance, and more.
For Term 3, we're excited to introduce STAGE 3 Acting!
Designed for dedicated students aged 15+ who have been training with us for several years, Stage 3 offers advanced learning to help prepare students for university-level studies and future pathways in the dramatic arts.
Led by Layla, who brings industry-standard experience and a degree in Performing Arts, this new class will challenge students to deepen their skills, build confidence, and further develop their craft in a supportive and professional learning environment.
We can't wait to offer this exciting next step for our aspiring performers!
