Makers’ House Hastings was established as a home where our favourite artists can stay, work, and/or teach; all in the hope of spreading the idea that taking yourself and your craft seriously — and, perhaps, sharing your learning with others — is something of value to the world.
Chris New teaches an ever-growing series of masterclasses offers a practical and inspiring introduction to our creative approach, rooted in the Stanislavski method.
Drawing on Chris’ training at RADA, and his experience as a highly regarded actor, he provides participants with a foundation in modern acting technique, narrative insight, and an experiential process that supports personal and artistic growth.
Whether you're new to being creative or looking to reconnect with your craft, this course invites you to explore the transformative power of ensemble learning in a supportive, thought-provoking environment.
