Where Passion & Creativity Ignite Brilliant Futures

Our Story & Mission

Twinkling Ray Academy was born from a simple idea: to help aspiring actors find their own unique light and confidently share it with the world. Founded over a decade ago in vibrant Melbourne, our academy brings together passionate theatre professionals, educators, and performers who believe in the transformative power of the arts. Our mission is to make acting accessible to all, fostering growth, connection, and creative courage in every student.

We envision a nurturing space where every student—regardless of age or experience—can discover their artistic voice, develop lasting life skills, and join a lively creative community. Through high-quality training and unwavering encouragement, we empower you to shine not only on stage, but in every area of your life.

Core Values

  • Inclusion: Everyone deserves a stage. We welcome and celebrate individuality.
  • Collaboration: We lift each other up through teamwork and support.
  • Creativity: Imagination and original expression are at the heart of all we do.
