Studio Directors -
Kate and Charmaine Gorman
​
Sisters Kate and Charmaine Gorman have been in the entertainment industry all their lives. Hailing from an acting family they grew up under a dressing room table, learning their craft from some of the best in the business. Both started as child actors in lead roles in children's television series. Further training internationally and long and rewarding careers in the industry followed. Both women continue working in TV, film and theatre as performers, directors and writers and producers.​
​
Passionate about passing on craft and knowledge (as their Dad, Reg Gorman always said, "if you want to thank me for teaching you, teach someone else") they have now created a place to do just that.
Kate and Charmaine bring a unique perspective to a young actor's journey, being child actors themselves who navigated the tricky path to have successful careers as adults, and being mothers of working child actors. This gives them an insight into what emerging actors need to make it in the industry, but also how to navigate the business and thrive as humans while on this worthy pursuit of artistry. Whether the end result is a lifelong career in theatre, a star on the Walk of Fame or something else entirely, the journey is one of gaining confidence, communication skills, empathy and self discovery that will serve you well in any walk of life.
In addition to the Studio the Gorman sisters together with Kate’s daughter Olivia Deeble, have their own production company Baby Banksia, which recently produced the award winning teen drama television series More Than This, which was streamed on Paramount+.
​
Our studio is a space where emerging and established acting
talent follow a unique process, guided by veteran screen experts,
in a purpose built film set that develops their skill and builds
their knowledge about the industry.
​
We operate a modern film studio and drama space in a heritage, art deco ballroom and function centre, in Balwyn North.
Re-imagining the creative space that once hosted dances, weddings, concerts and movies through the 1950's and 60's, we have installed a working film set, cameras, microphones and lights to create a high quality digital recording studio.
More importantly we are staffed with top teachers and directors who are current working film and TV industry professionals to guide and teach while you have an authentic on set experience.
​These teachers are working professional actors and directors active in the film, television and theatre industries with years of teaching and directing experience. ​​​​​​​
