PERFORMANCES

The Arts Centre’s theatre workshop space and audio and video facilities are an invaluable asset to its students and allow them to participate in a wide range of productions throughout their courses. Public performances regularly take place and give students the opportunity to ‘showcase’ a full range of performing arts skills from musical theatre and straight plays to cabaret, concert, dance and musical events and drama evenings. Inhouse, devised and lunchtime performances are also encouraged. The majority of our students are extremely musical and many play instruments to a high standard and will often provide the musical accompaniment for various entertainments. All performances are rehearsed and presented in a professional manner and final year productions are usually directed by professional theatre or television directors. Several times a year the Academy arranges for its students to perform at ‘outside’ professional venues – usually top London Theatres. Potential employers are invited to attend many of these performances. .
