Children doing drama

Ultimate Performance Academy

Ultimate Performance

Inspiring Performance-based childcare for children aged 7 to 12 years in Reading!

Lights, Camera, Perform!...

New at select locations, we're bringing some of your favourite musical movie moments to the stage! Ultimate Performance Academy, is a theatrical childcare experience, inspiring the next generation of young performers. The children will showcase a variety of popular Musical Theatre movie moments through scripted scenes, choreographed dance routines, and large chorus numbers, all leading towards the end of the week star dazzling performance!

Our new specialist childcare programme offers a dynamic blend of drama, dance, and singing, all aimed at nurturing your child's journey to becoming their best selves. Our dramatic instructors will take the children through a variety of musical theatre themed workshops, exploring voice, movement and acting to create an opening for imagination, as well as providing a platform to express their creativity in multiple ways.

 

The children will focus on working towards the three fundamental elements that create an overall Triple Whammy of a performer! 

1. SINGING!

 

  • Focusing on pitch and rhythm alongside additional singer’s voices or as a solo performer. 
  • Breath Control and postural support. 
  • Being able to sing in choral groups or as a soloist with confidence

2. DANCING!

 

  • Controlling coordination and managing your bodies alignment when linking together dance sequences and applied performance techniques. 
  • Being able to adjust through multiple dance styles and performance quality. Creating an awareness of musicality 
     

3. ACTING

 

  • Being creative with your imagination to maintain the character role. 
  • Working with scripts, understanding the storyline, context and character within your performance. 
     

END-OF-COURSE PERFORMANCES

In addition, family, and friends can enjoy the end of the week's presentation where your child will show you what they've practiced throughout the week. You'll be notified about forthcoming performances by our Customer Support Team.
