“Acting is the greatest answer to loneliness that I have ever found.” — Claire Danes

Welcome to our engaging Acting & Improv course in Lisbon with our experienced teacher Gabriella. Designed for beginners, this course is a warm and playful introduction to the world of theater. Through fun, interactive sessions, you will step out of your comfort zone in a supportive environment and discover the joy of performance.

- 8 to 13 days: 50% refund
- Less than 7 days: make-up only, no refund.

How long is my class pack valid for?
Your pack covers the specific course you book, and the dates are visible on the booking page. Most courses run for 2 to 3 months.
Classes cannot be carried over to a later course.
How do class packs, prices and discounts work?
The more classes in your pack, the lower the price per class. Most courses offer a few pack sizes, so you can choose the one that fits your schedule. Not sure yet? Start with a taster class, then book your pack before your second class.
Our discounts:
- Returning student: when you join two or more full courses in a year.
- Friends: when you sign up together, you both get a discount.
Discounts cannot be combined and may vary each season. Just message us before you book, and we will apply it.
Can anyone join, or do I need experience?
Anyone can join. You do not need experience, and there is no audition.
Our classes are about personal growth, confidence, and connection. Groups have of a maximum of 12 people, so everyone gets attention and feedback.
Should I book a beginner or an intermediate course?
Beginner courses need no experience at all, they are made for complete newcomers and for people coming back to acting after a break.
For intermediate courses, we recommend some experience. For example, having completed one or more beginner courses. These courses usually finish with a mini graduation show.
Do I need to speak fluent English?
Our classes are in English, so you need a basic understanding to follow along. Our native English-speaking teachers are used to supporting students who are not fluent yet, and many students join partly to practise their English.
What is difference between Acting and Improv?
- Acting is structured and script-based; you work with characters, lines and physical and vocal expression.
- Improv is spontaneous and unscripted, built on quick thinking, listening and teamwork.
Both build confidence, and in most of our courses we combine the two.
What will I get out of the course?
Confidence, creativity, public speaking, listening skills, better English and a group of new people.
Groups are small, usually a maximum of 12 people. You receive direct feedback from your teacher, a graduation certificate, free course photos or videos, and the option to take part in a final showcase.
What happens if I miss a class?
We don’t recommend missing more than 2 classes in your pack, since each class builds on the last.
If you miss 1 to 3 classes, there is no make-up or refund, but your teacher can give you exercises to catch up.
From the 4th missed class onwards, you get one make-up class per missed class, subject to availability. If you already know you will miss several of them, just book a smaller pack.
