Unleash your inner action hero in this thrilling week-long Teen Stunt Performance Course! Under the guidance of experienced acting coach Jo Rogers and legendary stunt coordinator Allan Henry, with credits including The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, Cocaine Bear, Mulan, Avatar, 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 in front of a greenscreen designed by the film making course running alongside this one. 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.

You’ll then continue to learn and film the best camera angles to sell any stunt on your own device in our large studio.

On the Thursday afternoon we join the Film making 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.
