For more than a year

For more than a year, my daughter has been part of these classes, which truly stand out as the highlight of her weekly activities. Her self-assurance has improved dramatically, and she feels both appreciated and esteemed by her instructor. She thoroughly enjoys herself, and I've observed that she's now more enthusiastic about finishing her homework promptly and works well with her peers. Additionally, forming meaningful and supportive friendships online has been another significant positive aspect.

Imaginarium Academy is amazing :)

Imaginarium Academy has been one of my favourite things for the last three years :D
Marina Magdalena is an amazing teacher (and author) and I enjoy her work as well as what she has helped me and my classmates produce.
I'd definitely recommend classes with Imaginarium (my personal favourite being film making) as they are so inclusive and friendly that, after a few weeks, it will be like you've been with us all along!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Marina, Dominic, and my friends at Imaginarium for the amazing experiences and friendships that I have developed over the past few years <3

A Fantastic Group

Imaginarium is a wonderful group. There are many amateur dramatic groups around, but this group teaches children how to act on screen and not just on stage. And the diversity of the groups is incredible. It is not just acting classes. This enables every child to find their potential and explore various areas within the acting world ie script writing, film-making, game design, and many, many more. My two children started this to get a little bit of acting tuition. But their love of this group has encouraged them to try some of the other groups too, including an accent class! Marina, who runs this company, is fantastic with the children. She has a lot of experience and is very encouraging with them all. I definitely recommend this group for so many reasons. My children's confidence has gone from strength to strength, thanks to Marina.

Imaginarium Academy is Fabulous!!

Imaginarium Academy has been such a wonderful find for my children. I admit I wasn't sure how acting classes could be successfully delivered online, but I have been blown away by the quality of these classes. My children have made friends, and grown in confidence, and I can always hear tons of laughter when they're in class so I know they're enjoying it immensely. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these classes.

There is nothing else like it!

Love this Academy! I have seen my kids grow hugely in their skills, friendships and passions. They have loved getting to meet guests from the TV and film industry and have had great opportunities in the talent agency too. I never thought being online could be such a beautiful place - highly recommend!

My daughter has been attending for over a year now and I can honestly say these classes are the single best thing she does each week. Her confidence has grown in leaps and bounds and she feels respected and valued by the teacher. Not only does she have lots of fun I have also noticed she is fired up to complete her home learning on time and collaborates with other children well too. In fact being online and making such close and valued and supportive friends has been another highlight.

Nurturing friendly space for kids to explore

Cannot recommend IA enough. My son has been with them for over a year and he has flourished so much. He's naturally creative and is allowed to explore his ideas and understand his own strengths and weaknesses in a friendly space. I think the best thing is IA take the time to get to know your child and therefore are able guide them in the best possible way.

A safe space for children to experiment and flourish

What stands out about Imaginarium Academy is that it feels like such a safe space for my creative child. It's so clear that the aim is never to have a high-pressure sausage factory for child actors, but an environment where children feel safe to experiment and grow with great technical guidance too. Within a few months my daughter had already attended auditions, including with Netflix, performed really well and was guided to use these experiences to learn from and see just how enjoyable creativity is!

Imagarium Seed has been a lifesaver throughout lockdown & beyond! It has provided online social interaction for my 12yr old daughter, who has enjoyed working on film-making, screen writing and tv acting collaborations with like-minded children from all over the globe. She has become extremely proficient in devising, directing and editing her own films using LumaFusion software.
My 7yr old son has also recently joined the Juniors and he too looks forward to his weekly online sessions.

Highly recommend

I have a 12 year old and 14 year son who both love the groups they are involved in at Imaginarium. The groups are varied and fun and stimulates lots of creativity in them both. Both of the boys have made plenty of friends and look forward each week to their groups.

Imaginarium deliver well taught, interactive groups that inspire creative minds and draw out potential.
I would highly recommend.

Skills for life!

My daughter has attended screen acting for almost 2 years. She has really grown in confidence and ability!
Techniques and skills she has learnt in these lessons have overspilled into life and where she used to have anxiety in new social environments she is now able to put her improvisation skills, reading a room, social queues etc in to use and is much happier. The staff are imaginative, take students on a journey of learning and discovery and are so so encouraging. I highly recommend Imaginarium Academy to anyone!

We found both content and tuition lively, challenging and professionaly delivered. Children adapted well as there was pace without panic and encouragement with suitable explanation. I would definitely recomend the academy to friends as the children appear to have bonded well whilst learning life skills, such as how to build eachother up and how to think creatively.

This academy is amazing

This academy is amazing. I have five grandchildren who have all taken part in at least one of the courses. The results have been incredible: confidence in acting; superb filming and editing; engaging with other kids from many diverse backgrounds and making new friends. The variety in the things they do means that they are never bored and always want more involvement. I can't recommend this enough.
