StageScreen Classes
StageScreen Classes are innovative and exciting courses designed and run by award winning filmmaker and theatre director Conor Armstrong Sanfey. Students study speech, drama and acting to camera and film production for the well rounded experience. Our kids and teen course is the only course of it's kind in Dublin which combines speech and drama with film production and acting to camera for the well rounded experience.
Course Modules
Students take part in a range of modules throughout the year including a Speech and Drama Module, a Film Production Module and an Acting to Camera Module.
The Speech and Drama Module leads to two performances (February and May) in a city centre theatre and the participation in Feis Maitiu,
The Film Production Module and the Acting to Camera Module provide our student with the chance to write, direct and star in their own TV commercials and short films. . Each year we run a film festival in the Dun Laoighaire Lexicon where the students get a chance to showcase their work on the big screen.The emphasis of the course (whilst encouraging confidence and creativity) is on fun.
Students also have the option to participate on class trips to theatre and cinema which are arranged throughout the year. This is a great opportunity for the students to see live professional theatre, to bond and create memories and sometimes meet and chat to world-famous actors. Most of our trips are within Dublin, although the teen classes have the additional opportunity to travel to London to see a show on the West End Book Now

" Logan has only been working with Conor at his Ranelagh Classes for a few months. In that time he has really settled into his stage and screen classes having recently had their end of year showcase in the Sean o Casey Theatre. He has performed in the Feis Maitiu in Dundrum and has just done his Grade 4 drama exam, all thanks to the fantastic support and encouragement from Conor. He comes out of class every saturday willing the week away until the next one! Definitely a class to recommend if you have a budding actor at home!"
