General News
SUMMER 2023
The Academy Juniors are excited to welcome new students this term and start the adventures and friendships all over again.
The academy Juniors class is where we start to take acting a little more seriously. In this class there is less emphasis on games and more on the art of acting. The students are challenged to take more risks as performers and we begin to build a more mature actor. However we do still have fun too! They all worked incredibly hard on their self devised piece "ME" dealing with Autism and inclusion and we are really proud of the end piece they performed
