Durban Actors Studio, founded in 2007, is a
part-time, extramural, performing arts training centre. Its aim is to nurture
and advance artistic ability and creative confidence in all its students;
children to adults.
The studio offers training in Acting,
Musical Theatre, Mime, Devising Drama, Public Speaking, Improvisation,
Movement, Reading for Performance, Shakespeare and, for post matrics, the soon

“We find and create as many performance
opportunities as possible for our students. Our students have performed in
professional stage productions locally, nationally and internationally.
Students have been cast in international movies, tv advertisements, been voice-over
artists for radio advertisements and have also officially represented our
country, South Africa, performing at the Commonwealth Games, Glasgow, alongside
the National Scottish Youth Theatre,” says Gill Brunings, director of the
Studio.
