Drama and Film Courses

“Rātā Studios, a Drama School in Wellington New Zealand, is an opportunity for young actors to step up to professional practice. Our teen students have scored roles in short films, features and on stage direct from the exposure and skills they learn here. Watching, experiencing and crafting work with top professional actors and directors is the best way to become the best actor you can be.”
—Dame Miranda Harcourt

Led by some of the country’s top acting professionals, our classes go beyond the basics. They are all about developing skill, craft and confidence.

We welcome students from age 7 right through to adults, offering a range of drama classes designed for all ages and abilities. Our teen classes are known for opening doors into professional and tertiary opportunities. Many of our students have gone on to land roles in short films, feature films, and stage productions, thanks to the practical experience and industry exposure they gain here.
