Performing Arts
There’s so much more to Performing Arts than meets the eye. Technical, design and engineering skills can all be framed through this exciting subject.
A real world view
Bringing it all together
As well as music, drama and dance we now encourage children to explore all aspects of performance such as sound engineering, set design and marketing. Producing breath-taking performances becomes a truly collaborative process with all departments working together under one umbrella.
