You don't need to have experience or be a big personality to join us. All you need is to love making up stories, acting out characters and using your imagination. Courses run Monday to Friday from 10am to 4pm with a performance at 4pm on the Friday.
Nelly Hillier, Head of ACT Kids' Theatre (AKT), says:
"I'm super excited to be teaching the AKT summer schools and I cannot wait to make, create and play with you all! We will be doing loads of creative tasks ranging from physical theatre to bold puppetry. Our theme for the week is the bold topic of Climate Change and what it means to you young people as YOU are the future of all our tomorrows!”
Our emphasis is very much on having fun through drama. Don't worry if you are not all-singing, all-dancing - neither are we! - but we see singing and moving as just another aspect of acting. We never ask students to do or perform anything they are not comfortable with and we always aim to find roles that suit your child’s ability and confidence level.
To complete the week, we invite your friends and family to come along and be entertained by the work you and your new acting pals have created.
All participants are fully supervised at all times and should bring a packed lunch. Students must arrive with, and be collected by, a nominated adult.
Our DBS checked tutors are trained, professional actors with bags of enthusiasm and experience.
