Since 1992, Theatretrain has pursued two aims with a passion: To provide high quality training for young people in the performing arts and to offer first-class opportunities to perform in local and national theatres. We are passionate about the performing arts. They help us express emotions, hopes, fears and dreams and offer a model of the world in which young people develop essential skills for coping with life.
Young people enjoy working together, have energy and possess imaginative insights surprising to adults. All they lack is experience. Our training provides that experience and the skills to benefit from it. Being part of a team helps them become more aware and learn to respect themselves and others. Performing together improves social skills and by learning self-expression, they come to understand themselves better and grow in confidence. Of course, it’s also amazingly good fun!
We hold weekly classes in comfortable, well equipped facilities, teaching a wide range of skills in acting, singing and dancing, tailored to 6-9, 9-12 and 13-18 year olds. Through a specially created curriculum, our classes develop an understanding of how theatre works – the importance of storytelling, sound, movement and character. We make exciting and challenging theatre by working as a group. And of course many of these skills are important life skills. The quality of our teaching staff is important to us. They are chosen for their experience and enthusiasm so that they inspire our pupils. Most of our teachers are or have been performers and with the centre manager create the buzz of activity and enthusiasm that is the Theatretrain style.
Theatretrain hold classes on a Saturday morning in Ryde between 10.00 and 1pm. Telephone 248844 or www.theatretrain.co.uk
