# **Acting for Beginners – Taster Session** **Thursday 23rd April – Jacksons Lane, Highgate** If you’ve ever thought about trying acting — or you just want to feel more confident speaking, expressing yourself, and meeting new people — this taster session is the perfect place to start. You don’t need experience. You don’t need to be “dramatic”. You don’t need to know anything at all. Just bring yourself, a bit of curiosity, and a willingness to try something new alongside a group of likeminded adults. You’ll be joining people who are all here for the same reason: to grow, connect, and have fun in a relaxed, supportive environment. ### What you’ll experience * A friendly, welcoming class led by Stage & the City * Simple acting exercises to help you loosen up and find your voice * A chance to explore creativity in a pressure‑free space * A lovely group of adults who want to meet new people and build confidence Most people arrive feeling a little nervous… and leave feeling lighter, braver, and proud of themselves. ### About the full course Our *Acting for Beginners* course introduces you to acting techniques, improvisation, character work, and communication skills — all at a gentle, beginner‑friendly pace. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to: * Build confidence * Improve communication * Try something creative * Meet new people * Break out of the “work from home → scroll → sleep → repeat” cycle ### Want more confidence at work? If your goal is specifically to feel more confident **in meetings, presentations, or speaking up at work**, we also run a **Public Speaking course** starting this week near **Liverpool Street**. Many students do both. ### Booking To find out more and to guarantee your place on the taster session, please book your ticket here: [Acting for Beginners | Thursday Weekly Classes | Stage & the City](https://www.afperformingarts.com/stage-and-the-city/classes/acting-for-beginners-thursdays) If you have any questions, feel free to message or email **satc@afperformingarts.com**. Come along, meet some lovely people, and discover how empowering acting can be — even if you’ve never tried it before.

Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it? How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp. This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
