Welcome to Act One Studios Saddleworth — where every child takes centre stage.

For over two decades, we’ve championed independent arts training that puts children first. Our classes are bursting with imagination, movement, laughter and the kind of confidence that lasts a lifetime.

Whether your child dreams of performing, wants to try something new, or simply needs a space to belong, Act One is where they’ll find their people.

Since 2002, we have been Saddleworth's family run, independent, home for theatre, circus and music training. In 2022 we created our very own home, a beautiful and safe studio for children thrive in.

In our studios, every child is seen, supported and celebrated. As an independent school, we KNOW our pupils. From first steps on stage to flying high on the circus aerial silks, we create unforgettable experiences that parents talk about long after the class ends.
