Successful few days at the Drama festival, great results and performances for some exciting new projects stepping out for the first time. This week we have also been working with confidence building by strengthening our independent communication skills within the local community! ❤️

School outing to West End Calling semi final in London today. Results won’t be in for a little while yet but whatever they are we have had a great experience working and performing live in the West End. A little trip to the performance and theatre exhibition at the Victoria and Albert museum before the long journey home. Congratulations to Lydia who made it through to this level getting through the initial audition and regional heats to join the semi finalists selected from the thousands of entries across the uk. ❤️

So here is something we were not expecting this morning!
Currently sat in a cafe in London while Lydia has her sound check for West End Calling semi final. This pops up !
Pupils have worked so hard and done so well with their monologue work that I am delighted to be able to tell you that Act Torbay - representing the South West has been nominated for the Regional and National school prize for the quality of their work! Just to top it off, my phone pings again. We have also been nominated as the Bristol and Wales representative with our school pupils from there.
Well done to all the pupils who participated and joined together to show their love for their acting work. ❤️

What a week it has been !
We started the week with Jodie and Lydia debuting their new duet partnership. Both girls have worked hard together on vocal and performance arrangements to create their own sound and design their own act.
We then had some great news from our National Youth Monologue entries. These were judged out of over 4000 entries across the uk.

Nearly forgot the big man’s birthday 🎂
Happy birthday William Shakespeare.
Pupils taking the additional Shakespeare LAMDA syllabus have excelled in their interpretation of his work. All our level one pupils this year have all received distinction with last years level 2 exam candidate also earning a distinction. As we head into our level 3 (a level) year we take a moment to pause and celebrate his birthday 🎁.

Congratulations to Lydia who is off to the semi finals of West End Calling x❤️

A full and entertaining day as pupils joined us for Easter Holiday sessions this morning. We then managed to join Lydia via the live stream link for her semi final of West End Calling in Exeter.
It was great to watch so much talent from the South West.
Lydia’s performance was praised for her believable character acting and expression with special mention for her vocal delivery with the accent work.
Results will follow but whatever the outcome we couldn’t be prouder to see her representing Torbay and the South West.

Great start to the day after our week off before our Easter holiday extras.
Last term we were working on ways to express ourselves, what a lovely way to start the day this morning ❤️

Our drama intensive day had unexpected surprises today as Lydia was invited to perform her Musical Theatre Solo in the championships and Jodie invited to collect an award for Comedy from the Torbay Dance festival. Both girls have been performing at the festival this week with Alison Axford Theatre School. Somehow we managed to re schedule and fit in the theatre trip to celebrate the girls success. All this in addition to creating and devising some fantastic new work when we were back together at our Torquay base. I have discovered that the greatest and most imaginative ideas happen over cake and milkshakes in between lessons!
Looking forward to tomorrow and Saturday when our younger students will be here to join us ❤️
