Mission Statement
Spotlight Acting's mission is to prepare the learner for life in the world of performing arts and acting.
It is to empower the student with the skills which will benefit them in their everyday life.
We aim to develop the skills needed to
communicate effectively and to share their ideas with their peers.
To stand and speak confidently to a small group or to a room filled with hundreds of people.
It is to educate the student on the importance of working as a team and to listen to each other.
To learn and develop the ability to empathise through the study of different characters and to learn to form their own
opinions as well understanding and taking onboard the opinions of others.
We will encourage confidence, self belief, trust and empathy.
We embrace individuality, team work and creativity.
Our vision is to make every student feel important, valued and listened to and to encourage and promote a safe space
for the student to have the freedom to be themselves.
Spotlight Acting's goal is to deliver high standard, quality classes that are inclusive to all.
Working towards local Performance, Festivals and optional LAMDA Exams
