Musical Theatre classes concentrate on the triple threat of singing, acting and dancing. All three disciplines are combined into a single training session. Students learn vocal technique and harmony, practice various dance styles and build character through drama exercises blending all three skills to perform songs effectively on stage.

 The children buzz with excitement, singing, dancing and acting as we move from one project to the next. 

 

SHOWCASES 

The chance for the students to sing, dance and act within their own class and with the rest of the school, whether it be group work, solos, duets or trios. Being a showcase means we can explore a variety of musicals, old and new.

 

BIG SHOW

All musical theatre classes come together to perform a well known Musical at a large theatre such as The  Palace, Civic or Thameside Theatre, with great scenery and costumes.

 

SMALLER SHOWS

These are performed at the Brentwood Theatre. We split the school into two , to either provide a double cast for a well known musical eg Matilda, allowing more parts for everyone, or to provide a suitable show for younger students, eg Jungle Book and a separate show for senior

students eg Legally Blonde.

​

LAMDA EXAMINATIONS

In a supportive group environment, individuals will flourish as they tell a story together through acting, song and dance. They will develop their acting skills through song, learning various techniques to convey the right mood and develop their voices learning harmonies, and choral singing skills, as well as opportunities for solos. Great for confidence building and teamwork.

​

PANTOMIMES 

Usually based around a well known story such as Aladdin , the children sing, dance and act in our pantomimes. They learn about ‘slapstick’ comedy , stock charcaters eg the

viillan and how to encourage the audience to participate.
