07.01.2022 Congratulations to Sonya (a regular student at The Hills Drama School) for having her short film screen at the SF3 film festival. Great job!
06.01.2022 Congratulations to Zara for being accepted into the Performing Arts school of her choice. Zara did several private lessons with me to prepare for her audition. Apparently she performed her monologue and was accepted immediately afterwards! Great to hear her hard work paid off. Her mum left a very nice review. Thank you. ---------------------------------------------------... My daughter has been attending Hills Drama School for the past 2 years. Her first experience was at a holiday workshop which she loved, and she immediately wanted to attend classes at the school. The Hills Drama School offers many practical opportunities like performing at the Short, Sharp, Theatre Competition, performed at the Riverside Theatre (where they won best script) and the advanced class specialising in auditions and self tapes. Zara recently took private lessons with Aaron in preparation for auditioning for a performing arts high school where she was successful. Aaron is a fabulous teacher, very relaxed and encouraging. He is very professional, knows his art form and has the ability to bring out the best in the kids. Highly recommended!!! Corynne
