Glisson Road Studios

Glisson Road Studios Formally known as Bodywork Company. Housing Glisson Road Studios Theatre School & Open/Adult Classes for the Community.

Bodywork Company was founded in 1981 by Theresa and Patrick Kerr, who at the time were leading professionals in the world of dance and music. The school grew from a series of classes taught in and around Cambridge as well as a professional touring company, the Bodywork Dance Company. At the time Theresa was teaching jazz for major performing arts colleges in London and Patrick was touring with the

jazz company. The present building was acquired in 1985 - A former furniture warehouse, which was then converted into beautiful dance studios. In 1986 they saw a need for a dance foundation course to prepare students, especially late beginners for full time vocational training, the foundation course grew both in size and success and still runs today. It was in 1990 that Bodywork introduced a three year full time course in dance and musical theatre. In 1995, the course became a registered charity and was validated by Trinity College, London in 2001 to offer Level 6 NQF Diploma in Professional Dance or Musical Theatre. In 2003 the three year course became part of the Government Dance and Drama Awards scheme. Bodywork Company is accredited by the EFA and CDET. In 2009 Bodywork began to offer the Trinity Level Grade 8 Qualification in Musical Theatre for the Foundation course, so far the students have received Distinctions in their examinations. Bodywork was pleased to announce that as of September 2015, a Level 3 BTEC Diploma in Performing Arts (Dance/Musical Theatre) became available for all Foundation Course students. The BTEC is a nationally recognised qualification and this course runs alongside the Trinity Musical Theatre qualification to create an overall programme.
