Classes
Saturday morning classes in Bicester run every Saturday from 10am-1pm in term time. Classes are open to all young performers between the ages of 7 and 16. They have a musical theatre bias and focus on dance/movement, music/singing, and basic acting techniques. Material is taken from a wide variety of sources including classical and musical theatre. During the second half of each term the pupils create a show, which is performed to family and friends on the final Saturday of term. Pupils are split into small classes according to age.
Classes Include:
Drama - improvisation - speech - vocal production and delivery - motivation & meaning - creative thinking - poetry & prose - comedy & clowning - creating scenes from scripts or around set themes.
Dance - street jazz - contemporary - musical theatre - hip-hop - lindy-hop - break-dance - body-popping - traditional jazz.
Music - singing exercises and diction - breath control & vocal technique - unison & harmony sing.
Each session includes a carefully structured mix of activities, using drama, dance and music to create ideas appropriate to each age group. Material is devised either by the tutors or developed with the pupils both individually, with partners or in groups. We feel that the process of creativity plays a vital role in the development and confidence building of each pupil.
