Loads of photos of KITE students / classes / performances / events, past and present, coming up in my Facebook memories at the moment. I miss them all SOOOOOO much!! Had a parent send me a video message from the children a couple of weeks ago. Brought a BIG smile to my face. Hope you're all keeping safe and well. x

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH ♥️ to everyone who has taken the time to wish me happy birthday. I feel loved. Between the posts, comments, messages, texts etc I've had well over 400 birthday wishes. They are VERY much appreciated, but as you can imagine I cannot possibly thank you individually.
Big thank you too to the wonderful people who have donated to my birthday fundraiser for the Kids Cancer Charity. We hit the target of £150 by lunchtime, so I've raised the target slightly to £200. The fundraiser will go on for another 7 days and will then be transferred automatically direct to the charity. ♥️♥️

Hi everyone.

We are closely monitoring the new rules being implemented in regard to Covid-19/Coronavirus.

As it stands, we are presuming that the Rule of 6 is not in place in regard to Performing Arts classes.

We will phone our personal contact in the Welsh Assembly this morning to get the correct information.

We will be writing a Newsletter today to keep everyone updated.

We are remaining optimistic, and positive that we can continue classes as normal.

We are also planning for the scenario that we might have to close classes, and have implemented a way to carry on via Zoom (this will be a last resort).

Thank you all,

Kayleigh and Chris,
The Kite Academy.

FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT!!
The running of The KITE Academy of Performing Arts is being taken over by the amazing Kayleigh Phoenix Whomes and her hubby-to-be, Chris CJ Windsor.
It's been a really hard decision to make, but I (Andrew) will not be returning to KITE as I have now handed the reigns over to everyone's favourite couple. My long-term plan was always to set up a "retirement business".... a garage restoring classic cars and building hotrods. Covid-19 has just pushed this forward, and my garage will be up-and-running from September 1st.
I still own KITE and have no intention of changing that, but the time is right for KITE to rise from the ashes of Covid with a completely new approach and fresh ideas.
I will still be calling in from time-to-time to visit the classes, and I will miss the children (and some parents too!) more than you will ever know, but at the same time I'm excited to see where the all-new KITE Academy will go.
The KITE number, 07768520330, will stay the same, but will now get you straight through to Kayleigh and Chris. Anybody who wants to speak to me for any reason is more than welcome to text me on my non-KITE number, 07762040099 or message me on Messenger or WhatsApp.
Thank you all for being such a big part of 11 of the most amazing years of my life. I love you all and look forward to seeing you in KITE shows and events which I will still be attending. I really hope that you will all continue to support KITE as before... don't forget you still have that show to do! xx

WHAT'S THE FUTURE FOR THEATRE SCHOOLS?
I have to admit it's not looking that rosy right now. I've read so many articles, and so many of them say that in Britain we are likely to have to continue some form of social distancing for possibly 2 - 3 years! There has been talk of continuing restrictions on class and group sizes to a maximum of 15 for the long-term, which is great for sports team activities, but not good for theatre classes. Dance classes will largely be OK too, we don't go over 15 in a dance class anyway. But theatre classes are a different matter. KITE Academy couldn't run on 15 in a class unless we put our prices up a fair bit, which could make it unaffordable for many students. And which students would we get rid of? I just couldn't do that! And we're not going to get anything like the same kind of dispensation as schools, theatre classes in this country have been well and truly branded "a luxury" not a necessity! KITE, as many of you will know, is run as a non-profit organisation, all staff, including myself, are paid an hourly rate, and all excess funds or would-be profits are reinvested to create spaces and opportunities for disadvantaged children, many from very difficult backgrounds. If things go the way they look like they're going, all that could be lost. All those sponsored places gone! KITE Academy will return in one form or another, but I have a feeling it may never be the same again. Theatre schools in general could become an elite activity for those who can afford the new higher prices. I pray that I'm wrong!! Missing all my students so much!!

Happy birthday to Kayleigh, one of the most amazing, caring, loving and talented people I have the honour of knowing, my friend, colleague and "extra daughter". Hope you have the best day possible. Sending massive hugs. xx
