MAKING TALENT TANGIBLE
When The Waterfront Theatre School opened its doors in the early 1990’s the intention of founders Delia Sainsbury and Keith Galloway was to offer training that developed the ‘triple threat’ – a description used for artists who sing, dance and act, equally well. Before the age of hashtags, the Waterfront Theatre School claimed the moniker ‘Higher’ to inspire a generation of
young artists who today fill a range of performing and teaching positions across the globe. This legacy continues and our 4-year programme still combines training in singing, dancing and acting, providing access to courses accredited by Trinity College London and The Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing in London. The schools intimate environment provides personalised programmes ensuring that each individual’s needs are supported and aligned to their future professional aim, whatever they might be. The performing arts world is an ever-changing landscape with endless possibilities. Success within that world depends on creative adaptability and the term ‘triple threat’ itself is an evolving concept. As an established leader in the field, The Waterfront Theatre School continues to observe closely the diversity of skills required by young people to begin and navigate a sustainable career within the Creative Industry. We actively provide opportunities for students to perform, teach and create – and in so doing spark a new generation of industry pioneers redefining the concept of the ‘triple threat’. Offering a programme that is principally vocational with a strong emphasis on developing a skillset that is relevant to a viable career, The Waterfront Theatre School sees today what you dream of for tomorrow.
