Teen Stunt Performance Holiday Intensive

Unleash your inner action hero in this thrilling week-long Teen Stunt Performance Course! Under the guidance of experienced acting coach Jo Rogers and Top Stunt and Performance capture Artist Allan Henry   you’ll dive into the high-octane world of stunt performance.

Throughout the week, you’ll train like a pro, mastering essential stunt techniques for fight choreography while performing dystopian conflict scenes that will push your performance skills to the limit. Jo Rogers will help you develop and embody authentic characters in this exciting world. 

You’ll then get to choose your character’s costume and film your action-packed scene with the film Making students plus scenes in front of  a greenscreen to turn into your dystopian world.  This will give you a taste of what it’s like to work as a stunt performer on a film  set whilst seeing the final world brought to life on the screen.

On the Thursday afternoon we join the Filmmaking students on a private Wētā Workshop Experience tour on Park Road! There, an experienced Wētā Workshop crew member will take you on a guided journey through the practical effects crafted for The Lord of the Rings, King Kong, The Chronicles of Narnia, Avatar, and much more! This also includes a private screening of Wētā’s exclusive behind-the-scenes documentary.

Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to step into the world of movie magic and take your stunt performance and imagination to the next level!

This activity is for the full week only.
