Performing Arts etc are coming to Beverley with their popular Summer School etc, giving young people aged from 8-16 the opportunity to develop their acting, dancing and singing skills over five glorious days with some of the best theatre practitioners in the region.
The week-long school will take place at the Hexagon Centre, Beverley from 18-22 August.
To take part participants don’t need any experience, but they do need to be enthusiastic, willing to work hard and have lots of fun. Attendees will also have the opportunity to develop their self-confidence, teamwork skills and most importantly make new friends and have fun.
In partnership with the East Riding Music Service, the future star makers will be focusing on staging the ever popular musical Bugsy Malone. The workshop will be run by professional theatre director Amanda Stalker, musical director Sam Dunkley and choreographer Toni Amanda Killingbeck .
Musical Director Sam Dunkley said about the workshops;
“This is a fantastic opportunity for young people to spend a week working with a team of experienced practitioners to explore their own creativity in a supportive, friendly environment, as well as a chance to make new friends. The outcome is always fantastic, and often takes the performers by surprise as much as it impresses the audience of supportive families and friends.”
At Easter, 25 young people from across the East Riding had a great time on a two day taster workshop. Although this gave participants a taste of what to expect, it is not a prerequisite for the summer course.
Workshops will run throughout the day with breaks in the morning and in the afternoon as well as for lunch. The course practitioners will be supported throughout the week by a team of chaperones.
Performing Arts etc work to build creativity and confidence. Their team of experienced practitioners and team of chaperones enable the participants in the company’s projects to achieve more than they imagine, whilst having a lot of fun!
The week-long Summer School etc Bugsy Malone will cost £110 per child, which includes a t-shirt.
