Program Overview A hands-on, progressive course that builds poise, presence, and performance skills for new talent. Each three-month phase focuses on practical techniques, studio experience, and performance readiness, culminating in a public showcase and advancement to our Emerging Talent Program.

  • Welcome & Introduction: A warm introduction to the class, an overview of the industry, and a brief welcome to the parents.

  • Model Session 1:

    Collage day: Students create a model collage showcasing different types of modelling and how to identify each one.

  • Acting Session 1:

    Introduction to Space & Posture. Body Language & Physical Awareness. Exploring the difference between posed, static modeling and fluid, acting-led movement. Learning how to stand tall with presence and confidence without appearing stiff or mechanical.

  • Model Session 2:

    Posing, seamless posing transitions, a range of varied facial expressions, creating dynamic body shapes, and thoughtful, intentional hand placement.

  • Acting Session 2:

    The Art of Reaction. Acting is reacting. Practice responding to imagined prompts using only your body (no words). Facial expressions & the "smize" — tiny facial changes. How to shift mood subtly without moving your whole body. Introducing the "smize" (smiling with your eyes).

  • Model Session 3

    Model walk focusing on posture, rhythm, and posing at the end of the runway.

    Telling a Story in One Frame — Narrative modelling. Providing the camera with a clear backstory so the photograph feels naturally alive.
