screen ACTING FOUNDATIONS for the PERFORMING ARTIST:

Winter Reset

For dancers, singers, theatre performers, and creatives wanting to build confidence on camera and step into screen acting.

Winter has a funny way of convincing us that we should simply become tiny little burritos for three months. And while there is absolutely nothing wrong with staying warm with hot chocolate and becoming one with your oversized jumper, maybe - this year - instead of waiting for winter to end, you use it as a training ground and enter spring with a whole new skillset.

Screen Acting Foundations for the Performing Artist was created to be a space where performers can grow their ability, build confidence, explore new skills, and broaden their opportunities.

Come grow as a performer and see what becomes possible.

About Caz

Hi, I’m Caz - founder of the StretchiFlex and all ‘round fun human.

Prior to working professionally in film and production for the past seven years as a Producer and Director, I trained in screen acting, worked in screen acting, and later moved into acting coaching at a local theatre company, where I spent over a decade helping performers grow in confidence, receptivity to direction, and truthfulness in performance.

Throughout my career on both sides of the camera, I’ve worked with many talented performers who want to step into screen acting - people who may already have stage experience, musicality, movement training, or professionalism on set, but haven’t yet developed the foundations of screen acting:

That’s why this course was created (!!!!!) and I’m so happy you’re here.

You’ll Leave the Course With:

  • 2-3 minute [self-tape style] showreel of your best work from the weekly filming.

  • 3 Professional Acting Headshots + a 45 minute headshot session with Tide Productions

(Above media package valued at $1,010-)

  • Practical screen acting experience

  • Greater confidence in auditions and self-tapes

  • Professional experience working with a director/producer

  • Connections with other emerging performers and creatives

  • Consistent, hands-on training and a safe space to explore your ability as a screen actor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Looking for our terms of service? See here!

  • Not at all. This course was designed specifically for performers wanting to move into screen acting — including dancers, singers, theatre performers, and creatives wanting to build confidence and learn foundations. If you already have performance experience, you’re probably bringing more transferable skills than you realise.

  • Absolutely. Theatre and screen acting share many foundations, but they also require different tools and approaches. This course is designed to help bridge that transition in a practical and supportive way.

  • Absolutely. While this course was designed with performers transitioning into screen acting in mind, you do not need to be brand new to benefit from it. Performers with previous screen acting experience will still be challenged and supported through scene work, technique exploration, direction, and practical application each week.

    There is always room to deepen your work, refine your instincts, strengthen your process, and continue growing as a performer.

  • Yes. That’s exactly why multiple cohorts are available. Choose from morning, evening, or Saturday options depending on what works best with your schedule.

  • Life happens! If you're unable to attend a class, please let us know prior to the session where possible. You’ll still receive any relevant scripts, technique workshop information, or class materials for that week so you can continue progressing through the course.

    As the program is designed as a small-group training experience, refunds or class credits cannot be provided for missed sessions. However, missing the occasional class won’t leave you behind in the overall course structure or progression.

  • Possibly! We understand that performers often balance rehearsals, shift work, study schedules, and wonderfully chaotic creative lives. In some cases, a mixed schedule (for example, Monday morning and Thursday evening) may be possible.

    To support scene partnerships, class flow, and a consistent group experience, this flexibility will depend on class availability and participant numbers for each intake. If a mixed cohort schedule would help you, feel free to let us know and we’ll do our best to make it work where possible.

  • Yes! You can email carolyn@thestretchiflex.com to organise a phone call, zoom call, or come down and see our space in South Melbourne prior to enrolling in our course.
