Performances

Performances

At the end of each term, all performers take part in an informal presentation to parents, family and friends. Additional opportunities include taking part in public displays, exhibitions, local charity performances, shows and various dance, singing, musical theatre and drama festivals and competitions which enable our performers to regularly gain performance experience.

In addition to this, our wonderful performers have the opportunity to display their talents in performances in an amateur and professional capacity at local and national theatres including Sadlers Wells Theatre, West End's Peacock Theatre and Her Majesty's Theatre.

A number of up and coming stars have been given the opportunity to perform on an international platform giving them the opportunity to travel, learn and improve their language skills and meet new friends.

Competitions

All England Dance Regional and National Gold Medallists celebrating outside the Peacock Theatre in London's West End.

We have a great bunch of youngsters who have lots of energy, enthusiasm and love to perform on the stage. Bright eyed and bushy tailed they continue to win numerous trophies, gold, silver and bronze medals at regional and national level dance festivals.

The young performers have also been successful over the years at the All England Regional and National Dance finals, which are held in the West End's Peacock Theatre. Selected winners have also been given the opportunity to perform in the All England Dance Gala, a fantastic opportunity for dancers to perform in front of a distinguished panel of West End stars, celebrities, producers and casting agents.

Our acting, speech and drama stars have also excelled by winning trophies and a wealth of gold, silver and bronze medals at festivals and competitions including the prestigious LAMDA Performance Award formerly the Allied Bank (GB) awards in communication and performance.

Continually, our youngsters reach the finals of many prestigious competitions and have won cash prizes and awards at national events including the ISTD Janet Cram Modern Theatre Awards, Ruby Ginner Classical Greek Awards, Marjorie Davis Star Tap Awards, Grandison Clark National Dance Awards and the IDTA Master Dance and Miss Dance Awards.

Our budding singers have performed exceptionally well at many singing galas, local and national vocal competitions and a number have gone on to win the Rotary Club Young Musician of the Year awards and secure professional recording contracts.

 

School Shows

As well as our annual performances, once every three years our "shining stars", some with award winning backgrounds showcase their talents. All performers are invited to take part, which gives everyone a chance to shine on a professional stage. If you're bitten by the stage bug, it's a great opportunity to dress up in costume, wear stage make-up and of course soak up the theatre atmosphere.

Amateur and Professional Performances

A number of junior and senior performers are given the opportunity to audition and perform with the

• National Youth Theatre
• English Youth and National Youth Ballet

Charity Performances and Outreach Programme

We run a programme of outreach work to encourage and broaden participation in the performing arts. A number of children take part in community projects which bring education and ultimately enjoyment to their audiences. Children take part in the Mayor's Charity Ball, the Town Twinning event, the annual town Carnival, performances for the elderly, hospices, school fetes, charity projects and performances and raise money for the Emmeline Charity for Cochlea Implants based at Addenbrooks Hospital in Cambridge and, Born to Perform, a performance education charity for children and young people in foster care.

Our youngsters love to perform, so if you have a fundraising event or are looking for some entertainment, please do get in touch. We look forward to hearing from you.
