Our Performing Arts Academy operates out of The Sandpit Theatre on site at The Sandringham School, Ridgeway, St Albans, AL4 9NX every Sunday morning from 9.45 - 1pm. Poppets (4-5)
This class will run for 90 minutes and offer children the chance to enter imaginary worlds with great adventures all guided through song, dance and movement. The classes are an early stage approach to acting and musical
theatre. They can Dress up, enjoy being creative and become ‘Poppet of the Week’. The 3 modules the students participate in are; Comedy and Drama, Musical Theatre (singing and dancing) and Film and Television (which covers film making and all aspects of media training). Each project we offer in the main Academy is so different and is a unique road of self-discovery that each student embarks on; developing new skills, new friendships and a new level of self-belief. Students also have the opportunity each week to be awarded 'Performer of the Week or 'Film Maker of the Week'. They will take part in at least 1 large production each year and have the opportunity to Perform every few years in the PQA West End production and see themselves on the BIG screen at Academy film viewings. From Ian the Principal.. I feel very privileged to be the Principal at PQA St Albans. Working alongside such inspirational teachers who have worked extensively in the Performing Arts industry combined with watching such talented students explore the various disciplines of Performing Arts in a completely practical and creative way puts a massive smile on my face! We’re committed to creating a safe space where students can take risks, experiment and think outside the box! It is vitally important to me that in all classes students have the freedom to find out who they are and grow in confidence, whilst receiving quality training which opens their eyes to different areas of the industry. Above all we want everyone to be themselves and be amazing! If you have a child that has lots of energy, an interest in the Performing Arts or maybe is just lacking in confidence, then PQA St Albans should be their first point of call every Sunday morning at The Sandringham School Campus. If you’d like to experience any of these great opportunities, then feel free to call me so we can arrange a FREE TASTER SESSION
We look forward to welcoming you to PQA St Albans
