# **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?

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**.

London's slowest pub crawl. A new pub every Thursday where everyone talks to each other. Because in 2026, you shouldn’t need to join a run club to meet new people. Turn up, grab a drink, talk to new people and see them again next week. Come solo or with friends. Stay for one drink or stay all night. **Coming along? Do these two quick things:** 1. **[RSVP on CircleUp](https://circleup.space)** (not just meetup). Meetup only has some of the crowd, the full community is on CircleUp. 2. **Join our [WhatsApp chat](https://circleup.space/whatsapp)** to find the group & stay in the loop. **How to find the group** Check for updates on our **[WhatsApp chat](https://circleup.space/whatsapp)** or ask the bar for the booking under CircleUp. **About [CircleUp](https://circleup.space)** Your social life. Sorted. Like a uni society for your 20s & 30s. We're your circle to show up, connect, and keep seeing the same faces. No cliques, no pressure, just a social scene you can step right into. **Most of our plans aren’t on Meetup. Browse the full calendar on [CircleUp](https://circleup.space).** \*\* See the vibe on our [Insta](instagram.com/circleup.uk).\*\*

***Note***: As the sunset is still early, we are starting at 6pm for now. The earlier we get there the more time we get! Ultimate Frisbee Pickup! All experience welcome! Main details: • For first-timers: you're very welcome, no experience necessary, we can teach you the rules and how to play. You just need a willingness to run around a LOT! Bring trainers (or cleats/football boots) and clothes you can run in and plenty of water • Please try to bring both a light top and a dark top as this makes splitting into balanced teams easier • Throwing from 6:00pm, we'll kick off a friendly pick-up game as soon as we get numbers. It's fine if you can only make it later on - we play with substitutes so you can join in at any point. If no one is there when you arrive, don't worry, people are probably just late! If the meetup is not cancelled, frisbee will be happening! • Afterwards we always head to a pub garden and have a drink or two :) • Frisbee is a non-contact sport, but the occasional bumps can happen, we're all playing at our own risk

Join us for our chilled Sunday afternoon Meetup, for connection and sanctuary amongst others who get you. We don't have a theme for this Meetup but please bring any topics you'd like to discuss and we'll also have the conversation cards with us. We'll meet at the Southbank Balcony Bar on the 5th Floor of Royal Festival Hall. The easiest way to find us is to enter through the main entrance and take the lift to the fifth floor - we'll try to sit at that end on a big table & will have a Meetup sign on display. We'll also comment on the day. There is an entrance to Royal Festival Hall that is quite close to the Nelson Mandela (INFJ) statue and there is also an entrance to the ground floor around the corner. Lifts are at either end of the building. You can buy either alcoholic or soft drinks, or tea/coffee at the bar. This venue is usually quieter than Picturehouse and there appears to be no concert that day. Please note you don't have to be well-versed on Myers-Briggs Type Indicator to attend; we are merely looking to build a community of like-minded people for fun, support and connection. There are always some people who don't come on the day, so if you're top of the waitlist, it's very likely you'll be bumped up, so please come anyway and equally if you would really like to come, please do. We're not going to turn you away! If there's a lot of attendees, we'll split into 2 groups.

We’re bringing back Adult Field Day. Last year was a good mix of competition and just hanging out, so we’re doing it again with some new games mixed in. Think team-based challenges, simple races, and a few things inspired by game shows. You don’t need to be athletic. Most of the fun is just being part of a team and getting to know people you wouldn’t normally talk to. The goal isn’t really winning. It’s meeting people, laughing a bit, and leaving knowing a few more names than when you showed up. If you stick around after, we’ll have a potluck, a bonfire, and a couple comedians in the evening. Bring: * Something to share for the potluck * Clothes you can move around in A small contribution helps keep events sustainable and ensures those who RSVP actually show up. Include your Meetup name + event name in the note. Please send $2 per person to guarantee your spot. Venmo (preferred) or PayPal @WiseUnlimitedLLC Actual links in comments below! Include your Meetup name + event name in the note.
