A modern screen-focused acting academy for young performers.

Cast Collective trains confident, skilled and industry-ready young actors — camera work, self-tapes and real professional insight, from age five.

Taught by professional working actors with current screen and broadcast credits, including BBC Scotland, international commercials and theatre.

What Cast Collective is

We help students see themselves as actors with real potential.

The camera is in the room from week one, in every group, with the stakes rising as students progress. It's the thread running through every age band and every term: real skill, real confidence, real camera-readiness.

Term one · Thursday 17 September

What the first Thursday looks like.

Parents are welcome in at the start of the first session — we’ll talk through how the term works and what your child will be doing, then the class runs. The camera is in the room from week one. No experience needed, and nothing to prepare.

Not sure yet? Book a free trial class on 17 or 24 September — one full session, no payment and no commitment.

Term one · From Thursday 17 September

Three classes. One Thursday night. One clear path through.

Three classes grouped by age, every Thursday, in 12-week terms that carry straight on from one to the next. Students progress through three levels within their band rather than repeating a year, building a running showreel across every term they’re with us.

Places are capped at 12 students per class, with a waitlist once a group is full. Enrolment is a monthly subscription, plus a one-off £20 annual registration fee taken at sign-up. Term one begins Thursday 17 September — Cast Collective runs in 12-week terms, and places carry forward into the next term automatically. If you’d rather try before you commit, book a free trial class on 17 or 24 September — trial places are limited and separate from the 12.
