Professional Performing Arts Training for All Ages

 

At Carney Academy, we offer expert-led performing arts training, with classes that focus on acting for stage and screen or musical theatre, for students aged five to adult, whether you’re building confidence, developing communication skills, or pursuing a career in TV, film, or theatre.

 

Our classes include group sessions and 1-2-1 coaching, with a strong focus on practical skills. We believe that performance has the power to educate, inspire, shape lives and bring communities together. This ethos is at the heart of everything we do.

 

Founded in 2010 by professional theatre and TV director Ruth Carney, our academy is built on over a decade of success in helping students unlock their potential. We believe performance can inspire, educate, and bring communities together — and that ethos runs through everything we do.

 

With thriving schools in Sheffield and Sandbach, Carney Academy delivers industry-standard training to help every student grow in confidence, creativity, and skill.
