Acting, Improvisation & Screen Acting Classes in Auckland  Welcome to Cutting Edge Drama – Classes run all year!

We run exciting, professional Acting, Improvisation and Screen Acting classes in Grey Lynn, Auckland for adults (16+).  Due to the impact of Covid19 we have decided to reduce some of our fees for 2021.  The Acting Skills and Improvisation Classes are hereby reduced from the original $169 to $139.00 per term. It’s our little way of helping in these financially challenging times! Not sure?  Why not come along and try out a class for just $15.00.

These Grey Lynn based acting classes are excellent for learning acting and presentation skills while building confidence. Lose anxiety about being in the limelight and improve your social skills, whether it is for acting or public speaking.  Discover your true potential in a fun, creative and supportive environment.

Improvisation and Acting Skills classes are an awesome way to overcome shyness or fear of being in front of an audience.  Many people have shared feedback that their lives changed after these classes as they overcame their performance anxiety and learned how to be more spontaneous!  Screen Acting classes specifically focus on all the skills necessary for successful auditioning or acting on screen. They get you industry ready!

We run Corporate Team Building Workshops in Auckland, using improvisation as the tool. We can come to you or arrange an outside venue.  These workshops are an amazing way to bond with workmates while having fun! They bring people closer, improve communication while enhancing team dynamics.  We have worked with businesses, such as Xero NZ Limited and Carat NZ Limited, who found the workshops invaluable.

One on one tuition is also available for people wanting to work on their acting, auditioning or public speaking skills.  These are offered at $65/hour.

At Cutting Edge Drama we are passionate about teaching acting but not ‘Drama Queens’ when it comes to our fees – we keep it totally  affordable

About Us

Our dynamic Auckland based acting classes are not just for people with a desire to act. They are also an awesome way to build both personal and work confidence.  My passion is teaching and enabling people to become more empowered; whether it be in acting or socially. What makes an actor interesting to watch and more natural in front of the camera or how do you create tension on screen? These are some of the areas explored in the Screen Classes.  If you want to audition for, or work in film and TV,  we will teach you the vital skill base. Courses are a stress free way to learn how to take presentation skills to a higher level and gain that necessary edge to stand out from the competition! Improvisation classes are a fun way to learn how to take risks and think faster on your feet. I have found that students self esteem flourishes as a result of what they learn in the classes.  My belief is that positive and constructive feedback is a very powerful teaching tool. Even the shyest students gain tremendous confidence through attending the classes.  Sioux Manning – Artistic Director CED (Actor/Teacher/Director)
