What our students are saying…
Kertu Karon
“As soon as I stepped foot in z/a studio, I knew I had found my new acting home. The creativity in the room was palpable.
The students’ preparation and commitment to their scenes is inspiring to witness and of course the teachers are phenomenal. The teachers hold space for actors and give you the tools through acting, administration and attitude to elevate you as an actor. The expectation of your work is greatness. To truly know yourself and the character, to go deep with your rehearsals. Most importantly they care for you to be a working professional actor, they will get you ready for the real world, by turning your dreams into action.”
