What we provide

Your child will be given weekly creative classes. Sessions are aimed at developing performance skills and encouraging self expression through creative activities.

We will be giving your child a chance to participate in regular activities, develop new performance skills, and the opportunity of performing on the theatre's main stage in our annual pantomime.

Classes will help to develop confidence, physical awareness and communication in an educational and fun environment. They will be taught to express themselves creatively and effectively allowing us to nurture young talent whilst encouraging and inspiring those who might need additional confidence.

Sessions are delivered in 8 week blocks with a performance for friends and family at the end of each term.

Participants will learn techniques in 5 main areas:
