🎭 Aspire Performing Arts 🎭

It has always been a dream and ambition of mine to start my own theatre company/performing arts school and so, after lots of encouragement and support, I am absolutely thrilled to announce Aspire Performing Arts!

Aspire is a place where all are welcome, regardless of ability and background. Theatre and performing arts is an experience that everybody should be able to access and through Aspire, I hope that more young people will find the joy and confidence it can bring.

My plan is to start small and for Aspire to grow and thrive over time. With that in mind, I plan to offer the following sessions:

🎭 Weekly Drama Classes
🎭 1:1 Private Coaching
🎭 Theatre Group for plays and mini projects

I am aiming to announce timings and location of classes and sessions in the very near future but in order to ensure that Aspire is as accessible as possible, I am asking you to complete a survey to gauge interest. Please find the survey below to register your interest in Aspire and look out for confirmation of dates and times very soon.

🎭 IMPROVISATION AND DEVISING WORKSHOP 🎭

We have all had a brilliant and creative day at the final summer workshop!

The children took part in numerous games designed to challenge their improv skills and develop their quick thinking before putting all they'd learnt into practice by creating their own devised piece.

Super proud of all their efforts today and what great fun they all were!

Even more theatrical opportunities are coming and I'm so excited to announce them tomorrow!

Check in tomorrow at 7pm for the big reveal! 🎭🌻👩🏻‍🏫
