The Best Acting Studio In Town
Chris’s lessons are not just drama lessons. They have been life changing. They’ve opened up a whole new area of self expression, self improvement and a passion for theatre that I never expected! And all this in a super supportive and encouraging environment. My week wouldn’t be the same without them. Chris Baldock truly has a gift not only for teaching but also for bringing out the best in you
Happy Students
When I first reached out I had no experience, just an interest in acting and need for a creative outlet. Chris assured me I was welcome and in class I was put at ease. Chris is technically brilliant, but more importantly he has the empathy and soft skills needed to draw out individual strengths. Each term there is an interesting mix of students of all ages, walks of life and levels of experience, who support each other. It is not about who is the best, it is about keeping things interesting and growing each week. It is great to spend time being creative with this brave group of people
Mockingbird has helped me grow to become a more thoughtful and better actor. Chris has been a mentor and role model to me for years, both in class and local productions. His knowledge, experience (and script collection) is unparalleled in the Canberra theatre community. Furthermore, he has created a warm and accepting environment where actors feel safe to experiment and fail. It’s always a pleasure working with Mockingbird.
