Billie No.1

Free Acting Classes in Christchurch

Acting training usually costs money most emerging performers do not have. Billie No.1 runs acting workshops, screen work, audition practice and live performance for free, so the only thing you need to bring is commitment.

Christchurch is the South Island’s largest city, and its rebuilt central city has brought new venues, galleries and street art since the earthquakes. The Port Hills, Banks Peninsula and the Canterbury plains are all close by for wider shoots. The programme is open to emerging artists from Christchurch. Get in touch to find out what is running and how to take part from there.
