The theatre arts course

Acting

Our theatre arts course provides a solid grounding in the core acting techniques, including:

• Improvisation and devising classes, developing pupils' creative potential.
• Voice classes and the chance to take LAMDA exams.
• Exploring physicality and character development.

Classes aim to build confidence and increase presentation skills, with a strong focus on consolidating the basic technique required as an actor.

Dance

The theatre arts course gives pupils a thorough training in dance, one of the core skills of a professional performer. The course includes:

• Classes in classical ballet, modern and tap, working on technique and presentation
• Conditioning classes to develop pupils fitness and stamina
• Musical theatre work and performance skills

Singing

The theatre arts course includes comprehensive training in singing:

• Estill voice classes to promote healthy voice use and develop technique
• Group singing classes to improve ear training and harmony work
• Solo singing assessments to develop presentation skills and acting through song.

Live public performances - a chance to shine on stage

Pupils participate in projects throughout the year which may involve musical or classical theatre or devised work, often resulting in a public performance.

All pupils on the course work towards a large scale production in the School's Markova Theatre in March. Recent shows have included 'Cinderella', 'The Boyfriend', 'Honk', 'Seussical the Musical', 'A Midsummer Nights Dream' and 'Bugsy Malone'.
