Encompassed in the acting and drama courses are singing sessions with Mr Kevin Haggart, Aberdeen’s foremost Musical Director. To children who attend our Theatre classes, we also offer Stage Dance classes with our dance specialist, Rebecca Gordon, who covers all styles of stage dance for both boys and girls, but without the formality of leotards, ballet shoes and bun nets!
The emphasis during each class is fun, which, along with hard work, produces the quality of productions for which Phoenix is famous.
Phoenix Youth Theatre is a performing theatre school and classes will always build throughout the year towards a variety of performances, culminating in at least one major theatre production each year. The best way to consolidate the performing skills the children are taught over the year is to perform in a professional theatre in front of an audience.
In our experience with children, we have found that working in theatre arts builds confidence while teaching discipline, co-operation and teamwork. We do not aim to create superstars (although there will always be those who are more gifted than others), but to induce a love and appreciation of the theatre and to develop skills which will aid our children throughout life. We have several former students attending drama and dance colleges throughout the UK, with our most recent success story about to commence studying acting at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts, based in London .
Phoenix Youth Theatre will encourage the quiet child to develop confidence and the lively child to cultivate composure, all while having a thoroughly enjoyable time!
