NEXT WORKSHOPS: AUGUST 2024.

ACTING MASTERCLASS WORKSHOPS with Jazmine Franks, former Hollyoaks actress.

The Agency Workshops are back! We wanted to give you something special for your children to look forward to over Summer that will really help with elevating their acting skills.

We’re loving Ology superstars landing big roles in incredible dramas, such as The Gathering, Netflix and Apple TV+ series with Idris Elba and Charlize Theron, UK soaps and Hollywood feature films.

We therefore thought we’d bring you a very experienced TV acting teacher within the industry, with first hand experience in an award winning soap to really challenge you on actual TV scripts. In addition, Jazmine will work with you individually to improve specific intonations within the script, expression, actions, directions and more to exponentially improve your raw talent.

Jazmine Franks is best known for playing Esther Bloom in Hollyoaks from 2011 to 2018 along with multiple appearances in ITV and Channel 4 dramas, including Shameless and BBC One drama ‘The Street’.

With guidance and tips on how to maximise a self-tape opportunity and a Q&A session with Jazmine and Ology Directors so you can ask anything you like to help your child achieve their dreams.

Spaces are strictly limited – £30.00 per child.

We sold out very quickly on the announcement of the last workshop earlier in the year so be sure to book early! We’re super excited to see you all!

We hold the Agency Workshops exclusively for children on the books ages 3+ periodically throughout the year.

It is super important that we see each and every child based in/around the North at these sessions for us to continue to be able to submit for briefs. If three consecutive workshops are missed we may need to pause submissions for castings.

The Workshops enable us to see agency members regularly and for us to see how each and every child is growing in all areas and for us to be able to communicate this to clients.

THE OLOGY TEAM

"What an amazing day we have had!! Working with the Emmerdale cast and crew was a fantastic experience and we were blown away with how kind and friendly everybody was. Thank you very much to everyone at Ology for all of your help. We'll see you at the Leeds workshop in a couple of weeks time. Today has been wonderful!" - LEANNE
“Sydney says the casting workshops are very good, the children have fun and the lessons make them feel much more confident and give her confidence and experience for castings that she may attend. We feel the casting workshops are a great session for the children to attend each month, as this gives them a great boost in confidence and helps them for castings that could come up in the future, they also love the idea of them making new friendships and always meeting new people at each monthly casting session! Big thanks to you all - you all do a brilliant job and you have a team of fab people working with the children at the Casting Workshops." - JOLENE
“This was our first experience of an Ology Assessment Workshop Casting or anything remotely similar. On route to the assessment, not really knowing what to expect as it was our first time, I admit both Robin and I were a little nervous. Once we had arrived at the workshop we were met by a well organised team. The room was full of happy confident children! Once Robin had been called into the workshop I was led into a room with the directors to discuss all about how Ology works.

I was given plenty of information and all my questions got answered!! Once the workshop had finished my son Robin came to meet me with a big beaming smile, the nerves were quickly forgotten about!! I simply can’t remember our journey home due to Robin talking all the way telling me what he had been doing. He told me he particularly enjoyed the exercise of running around in a circle shouting "Oh La La". He finished it off by saying, “I really enjoyed myself tonight mum" so that really says it all." - CLAIRE
“The monthly Ology Casting Workshops provide a measure of realistic and healthy industry exposure to my daughter, who is 6 and previously inexperienced. The workshops prepare her mentally for what is expected, along with the coaching to learn skills that will help her take-on opportunities that arise through the agency. All of this is delivered with a good dose of fun and enthusiasm. We all look forward to finding out what the monthly workshops are going to entail and preparing for them. Definitely a worthy experience!!" - MADELINE
“Hannah says she loves the Casting Workshops as each time she goes it helps her improve her skills so that she can be the best she can be in castings! I love the energy, positivity & approachability of the team at Ology and this reflects in Hannah when she comes out of the workshops! We think the teachers are fab too". - ZOE
“Ology Kids Casting has changed my daughter's life, she now has confidence and belief in herself. Attending the monthly workshops has re-enforced her ambition to become an actress as that is the career path that she wants to take and it's thanks to Laura and Andrew that now she believes she can and will succeed. My daughter is always excited to attend the workshops and looks forward to them and there is always a bubbling positive energy at the workshops." - CRESSIDA
