MINI ACADEMY
Our Mini Academy for Reception to Year 2 allows our young performers to start to explore their imaginations. Throughout the term we just explore their young minds and whisk them away to a range of magical places through singing, dancing and acting!
We use the enjoyment of the class to bring out the best in each child, giving them a voice and allowing them to explore who they are.
Throughout the term we will work closely with the children to develop their ideas and put them into action, leading to an end of term performance in some shape or form. Some terms each week, instead of workshops they will be rehearsals, leading up to a performance on a professional stage in front of an audience.
In previous terms we have performed shows such as 'Oliver', 'Aladdin' and 'Bugsy Malone' and explored the likes of Roald Dahl, improvisation, slapstick comedy, singing and dance technique.
Every term ends with a performance for friends and family, including a full scale production each year on a professional stage!
This term our Junior classes are preparing for their musical productions next week, mastering their musical theatre skills in a term called 'Broadway, Here We Come', as we dive into a different Broadway musical each week.
NEXT PRODUCTIONS
Our next Junior Weekly Academy productions are 'Finding Nemo JR' and 'Annie JR' to be performed in June & July 2025, with rehearsals from Janaury 2025.
From the very first workshop auditions, throughout the rehearsal process and into production week our young performers will work with our professional production team, who create a safe and fun rehearsal environment allowing them to thrive on stage.
Whatever your your past experience, there is a place for you in our shows, with every production ensuring every student has their moment to shine, giving everyone a space to grow and develop with their talents.
