Aims of the School
The aim of the Somerset
School of Performing Arts is to give children the chance to learn with fully
qualified, experienced and enthusiastic teachers, as many different
disciplines relating to the Theatre and Performing Arts as possible, with
the emphasis always being on fun and enjoyment. We hope that through regular
carefully structured workshops, activities, games and performances the
children will gain confidence and learn new skills which they will be able
to use throughout their lives.
The classes at The
Somerset School of Performing Arts are arranged to allow the students to
work within their own age group at a suitable level. Each week the students
take part in acting, singing, voice training, theatre and street dance/hip
hop classes with our highly qualified, experienced, caring staff who are all
working professionals. Throughout the year we also have visiting staff who
give tuition in other disciplines relating to the Theatre and Performing
Arts such as audition technique, microphone technique, stage make-up,
costume and set design, casting and directing.
Our students are given
plenty of opportunities to be creative and to explore their own ideas, they
regularly entertain us with their own work and performances
All of our staff
concentrate on teaching the students the correct techniques in their
specialist subject which allows each child to train safely and to reach
their maximum potential. Our teachers have many years of experience in the
business, they have worked professionally in West End productions, on tours
both in the UK and abroad, in
television series and documentaries, in films and in Theatre in Education
Programs.
We maintain that the
most important aspect of all of our classes is the element of fun as this
allows the children to relax; it improves their confidence and allows them
to perform to the best of their ability. We recognize that each child is an
individual with different needs and abilities and we encourage them to
develop at their own pace in a friendly, happy environment.
