It will be lights, camera and action for children at Point Cook when new acting classes start at a local primary school.
Actors Lelda Kapsis and Nick Colla are launching classes at St Mary of the Cross Catholic Primary School later this month for pupils in prep to year 12.
“Acting is a fantastic opportunity for kids to develop empathy, build self- esteem, express themselves creatively and be part of a community,” says Kapsis, who has specialised in stage productions and earned a Green Room Award nomination for a musical.
“Whether students hope to pursue a career in the field or are just looking for a creative and social extracurricular activity, these classes can be extremely enriching and a whole lot of fun.”
The classes will include theatre sports and voice and movement skills.
Colla, who has appeared in television dramas Neighbours, Blue Heelers, City Homicide and Winners & Losers, has a close association with the school; his father Leon is the principal. SH
