EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT – £265 if booked before the 15th of May  (FULL PRICE – £295)

We accept Childcare Vouchers and HMRC Tax-Free childcare payments. 

Over the week, children will work alongside our highly skilled performing arts practitioners (all staff are musical theatre trained with BA Hons in Acting or Musical Theatre and/or have extensive industry and teaching experience) Our courses support and develop children’s performance skills, confidence and social skills through collaborative drama, singing and dance activities. No experience, some experience, tons of experience – all abilities welcome! All of this takes place in an inclusive and supportive environment where they can truly be themselves.

What a typical day looks like: 

    • Practical activities! Children will be split into age-appropriate groups to ensure they are fully confident to take part in acting, singing, dance warm-ups and games.
    • Rehearsals: Throughout the day children will learn a variety of songs, scenes and dances from the musical– in preparation for their end-of-week performance!
    • Playground play time: including ball games, hide and seek and parachutes!
    • Arts and crafts: Children will participate in arts and crafts at intervals throughout the day including, colouring, play dough and musical collages.
    • Time to BOUNCE on our giant outdoor bouncy castle!

All children will:

    • Learn how to sing and belt out – ‘This is me’, ‘A Million Dreams’ and ‘Never Enough’ 
    • Learn fun choreography tailored to their age.
    • Rehearse and block scenes with their friends. 
    • Take part in arts and crafts and outdoor chill/play time. 
    • PERFORM to friends and family on Friday! (3.20PM) 

Older children (8.14yrs) on the course will have the opportunity to…

    • Hone their performance and characterisation skills, guided by their practitioners
    • Refine their choreography and the blocking of scenes – ready for their show! 
    • Develop their ability to sing as a soloist and ensemble cast, working on their clarity, projection and acting through song!

Content is tailored to children’s ages, confidence and abilities with lots of opportunities for them to add their own ideas and develop the scenes in their own way.

Our holiday courses are gender-neutral allowing children to explore and portray any character they choose.

Day places available to book from the 12th of June. We accept Childcare Vouchers and HMRC Tax-Free childcare payments for this course. We also offer significant discounts for parents in receipt of Universal Credit.
