🌟 STUDENT SPOTLIGHT: LEWIS 🌟

Say hello to Lewis – one of our exceptional junior students here at
StandUP Drama School! 🎭

From the moment Lewis joined us, his passion for performance, natural talent, and professionalism stood out. Not only has he thrown himself into every class and challenge with enthusiasm, but he’s also already worked professionally in the industry – a huge achievement for someone so young! 🙌

Lewis brings incredible energy to every session. Whether he’s crafting a character, rehearsing on camera, or collaborating with others, he leads with focus, creativity, and maturity beyond his years. He’s a brilliant role model for other students and a joy to teach.

💬 “Lewis has that rare combination of confidence, and raw talent. He listens, learns, and leaps into every opportunity. I have no doubt we’ll be seeing his name in lights – and we feel lucky to be part of his journey.” – Gavin, Co-Founder.

We are so proud to be part of Lewis’s next chapter – helping him sharpen his skills, grow his experience, and chase even bigger dreams. This is just the beginning, and we can’t wait to see what’s next! 💫🎬

👏 Well done, Lewis – your future is shining bright!

Celebrating Our Students’ New Headshots — and Their Bright Futures! ✨

This photo of Gavin, taken 25 years ago, still radiates confidence and professionalism — a true testament to the lasting impact a great headshot can have. 📸

Recently, our students completed their own professional headshots, marking an exciting milestone in their personal and professional journeys. These images are more than just photos; they’re powerful tools that capture their readiness, ambition, and individuality. 🚀

A professional headshot can:

Make a lasting first impression — it’s often the first thing casting directors, employers, and clients notice. 👀

Reflect your personal brand — conveying confidence, approachability, and professionalism. ✨

Open doors to new opportunities — enhancing resumes, portfolios, and online profiles. 🔓

We’re incredibly proud of our students for investing in themselves and embracing this important step in their professional development. Like Gavin’s headshot, these images will serve them well for years to come! ⭐

I taught this week at StandUP in Witham (maltings academy) and absolutely loved it.
👏👏
The children were working towards a mini performance, which the parents watched, and the seniors showed me the progress on their Lamda acting pieces. Absolutely outstanding work and every single student was amazing throughout.
