About the role

This is an acting and performance coaching role for young performers. You will teach Acting for Film across primary and secondary-aged programs, delivering an established curriculum that combines actor training with practical on-camera experience. You will need to understand screen performance, analyse an actor's work and provide clear, practical coaching that helps young performers develop. The role also involves preparing students for filmed outcomes and working collaboratively with film operators and the wider creative team. While you will need a practical understanding of cameras, framing and the filming process, your primary expertise should be working with actors, not equipment.
