  • Reviews & Insider Perspectives

    The Our Kids review of Sparx Studio Acting Inc.

    our take

    Camps and classes at Sparx focus on social and emotional development, integral to acting and performance. The approach is rooted in founder/actor Alana Schober’s personal background, dealing with her childhood anxiety. She understands it and wants to inspire kids to share their light, just as she has, no matter where they come from or what they want to do in life. Kids learn strategies for dealing with nervousness and grow empowered, learning to speak for themselves. It’s an energetic introduction to acting, where kids get bitten by the bug and grow confidence. Programs include communication activities, speaking, presentation, and of course, lessons in auditioning and acting in film, TV, and theatre scenarios. They also include games, arts and crafts, outdoor play time, and more.

    Highly recommend!

    My daughter has experienced several seasons (6-week programs) of Sparx and loves it. We took the summer off and she begged to go back. Her teachers are kind, supportive and fun. She's gained a lot of confidence and I love that they role--play real life situations like bullying and stranger-danger but also learn things like auditioning for a commercial. I've even suggested to her school that they look into having Sparx come do a program there so her school friends can benefit. Highly recommend ... Show More

    Not many places like this

    This was our first time trying Sparx. Our daughter had a great time at the summer camp! Bonus, the performance on the last day - she came out of her shell and Sparkled! We are now making plans to register her for the weekly classes in the Fall. We love the mindset and teaching style at Sparx. Children learn to understand themselves - and others - and express their personalities. There are not many places that offer this type of education any more. Our child was encouraged to be creative and feel confident in their ideas and their skills, while learning new skills as well. We will definitely be back ... Show More

    Our son participated in the July 2024 Summer camp and loved it! He really enjoyed his time there. Thanks to all the organizers for creating such a great experience for the children!

    Only camp where she has leapt out of the car so eager to start her day

    My daughter has participated in two in person camps as well as a virtual one. Each session had a different instructor all of which were wonderful with the kids (I was amazed they were kept entertained virtually!) I love the important lessons that are being taught in a fun manner. More importantly it is the only camp where she has leapt out of the car so eager to start her day and left the camp begging to be signed up for the next session. : ... Show More

    I watched her confidence improve

    My daughter loved coming to her Sparx classes on Saturdays. The play they rehearsed and performed was all about resilience and seeing things through, great lessons for kids. I watched her confidence improve and she even memorized all of her lines which was very impressive. The class environment is friendly and supportive and communication with Sparx is extremely clear. If you are thinking about registering your child, do it ... Show More

    Great program. She was so confident.

    Our 7 year old loved this and requested it for next year’s camp list over other ones. That’s the highest recommendation there is for a 7 year old. Great program. She was so confident.

    Confidence dealing with new environment and different situations

    My daughter (just turned 5) spent one week in summer camp with Sparx and she loved it. She asked me to sign her up for the next year after coming home on day 2. I hope as she joins more classes with Sparx in the future it will help her to build up confidence dealing with new environment and different situations ... Show More

    Sparx programming has been beneficial for our children (aged 6 and 8) not only as a creative outlet but as an educational aid on important topics such as getting along with friends, learning about stranger danger, assertiveness and communication skills.

    How they got a group of little ones to memorize lines and perform in 5 days is beyond me!!!!

    Sparx taught my 7 year old daughter how to manage bullying, how to collaborate with a group of children to create a play, and also gave her the confidence to act on stage! She was never bored, and she came out of Sparx with so many valuable skills that I signed her up for several weeks over the summer. It was a really great experience, the staff were kind and understanding. How they got a group of little ones to memorize lines and perform in 5 days is beyond me!!!! ... Show More

    Helping our children to develop positive values and self confidence.

    Sparx is a wonderful program. Our daughter (Georgia) loves going, and always has fun! Sparx is clearly doing more than just showing the children a good time, they are helping our children to develop positive values and self confidence. Our five year old daughter has come home from various classes discussing (amongst other themes) - kindness to other children, and "not going with strangers". It's quite funny to hear these jewels of wisdom from her little mouth. The instructors truly care about understanding each child, and helping them to develop socially, and emotionally. Our kiddo is reserved by nature, and it has been wonderful to see her happily perform in the "Sparx Showcase" that comes at the end of the week. We are delighted by these performances as well! Where else can you see a magic cow drink chocolate milk with Cinderella?! : ... Show More

    Delivered in a supportive and age appropriate way

    We have been overwhelmingly happy with what our nearly 6 year old daughter has learned at Sparx this year. She’s already done two of their virtual camps and has just asked to sign up for a third. She loves the focused attention she gets from the instructors, and I love the content (they speak about covid, stranger danger and other complex topics) which is always delivered in a supportive and age appropriate way. They have nailed the virtual delivery, highly engaging and just wonderful ... Show More

    Director's Message

    Alana started Sparx Studio back in March, 2019. She strongly felt that the average school curriculum focused too much on academics and did not teach children enough vital social-emotional skills. Understanding the significance of leadership, independence and confidence offers, Alana created Sparx and its’ beneficial resources for children to learn these skills in memorable, interactive and fun ways! As a very shy child herself, Alana first hand relates to the benefits of acting because joining theater at the age of 8 is what finally broke her out of her shell! Fast forward to her teaching for a few years, she realized that acting plus invaluable life skills is an unbeatable combination for kids to experience! She wishes that she had these skills taught to her growing up, therefore, she is thrilled to offer Sparx to kids today! Alana is also an Actor and Experienced Certified School Teacher from Vancouver, British Columbia. Alana’s love for teaching led her to the the University of Victoria, where she completed her Bachelor of Education. She has taught both public and private school students in Vancouver, Victoria, Toronto and northern Quebec. Alana began acting at the age of eight and has performed in many plays, films, commercials, corporate videos, music videos and television shows. Her teaching philosophy is to inspire and enhance her students’ creativity, confidence and unique personal selves. Alana is very delighted combining her two passions – teaching and acting – into one position at Sparx Studio! She hopes to inspire as many children as possible to ignite their inner Sparx!
