ADVANCED SKILLS

 

Picture
For members that want to develop their skills to a higher level.  We work faster and on more complex/adult projects in this class, in particular exploring the company’s performance interests in site-specific work and where performance begins and ends.  We often choose little-known pieces to broaden not only our members’ knowledge of theatre, but also our audiences’!  The group perform 2 main pieces each year, but frequently have extra smaller projects running alongside these.  In addition we often go to see theatre being performed in the area as a group, and discuss it together.  Members are pushed individually to challenge themselves and frequently achieve more than they thought they could.

For age 14-20 year olds
Fridays 5:30-8:00pm (doors open 5:15pm)                    
£8.40 per session

Payable weekly, first session FREE.  
Please make sure you have
soft-soled shoes to wear at the studio (e.g. plimsolls or jazz shoes) that are                                                                                                    never worn outside.

                                                                                                Places available from September

ALPHA and SIX: TEEN EDITION

ALPHA by Karl Gernert
SIX: TEEN EDITION by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss
​This amateur production of SIX: TEEN EDITION is presented by special arrangement with Concord Theatricals. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk

ALPHA
A companion piece to our production of Six: Teen Edition, ALPHA explores the toxic masculinity of Henry VIII himself.  With lots of fast-paced talk and cutting remarks between Henry and his 'friends', all this locker-room chat might just show that despite his prowess, it is Henry who is defined by his wives. Told through a series of podcasts, Alpha holds an uncomfortable mirror up to modern day machismo and misogyny.

Age guidance 14+ adult language and content throughout.
Saturday 12th July 2025 - 11am and 5pm
South Holland Centre
Duration: 45minutes

SIX: TEEN EDITION
The musical sensation that is Six comes to Spalding courtesy of Act II in this special teen edition, which features all the sass of the queens!
Henry VIII's six wives are out to set the record straight. Aragon, Boleyn, Seymour, Cleves, Howard and Parr are taking back the microphone in a poptastic concert to reclaim their crowns and retell their stories.


Saturday 12th July 2025 - 2pm and 7:30pm
South Holland Centre
Duration: 80minutes
