HOME / PROGRAMME
WHAT YOU’LL EXPLORE
Train wide. Grow deep. Make something real.
The academy brings together performance, rhythm, voice, movement and media so students learn to create across disciplines.
VOICE & COMMUNICATION
Speech. Diction. Presence. Story.
Develop stronger vocal expression, listening, public speaking and the courage to be heard.
RHYTHM & DRUMMING
Pulse. Ensemble. Culture. Discipline.
Explore African drumming, Jamaican rhythm, coordination, musical communication and group responsibility.
MOVEMENT & PERFORMANCE
Body. Space. Energy. Stage presence.
Build physical confidence through movement, theatre games, choreography and embodied storytelling.
CREATIVE COLLABORATION
Listen. Build. Lead. Make together.
Develop teamwork through group creation, rehearsal, problem-solving and responsibility for the ensemble.
MEDIA & SHOWCASE
Create work worth sharing.
Where appropriate, projects may extend into film, recorded content, showcases, productions and public presentation.
NOT SIX SEPARATE CLASSES
The disciplines feed each other.
A student may use rhythm to strengthen speech, movement to unlock character, storytelling to shape film, and ensemble work to build leadership. That connected approach is the point.
THE OUTCOME
Skill + confidence + something made.
The programme should leave students with stronger technique, stronger self-belief and tangible work they helped create.
HOW GROUPS WILL BE SHAPED
We’ll use the interest data to shape the right groups.
We are starting from Grade 1 / approximately age 6 and up. We collect age and grade so we can organise students into the most sensible learning groups as the programme develops.
Starting point: children and young people beginning from Grade 1 / approximately age 6 and up.
