Make
Your Kids Smile This Summer with Stage2’s Summer Schools
Stage2 is Birmingham’s longest running youth
theatre, having been established over 26 years ago. Stage2 offers a unique range of opportunities
both on and off stage to all young people aged 7 to 21 in the West Midlands
without even having to audition, and this summer it is offering opportunities
that are too good to miss!
“Stage2
is a uniquely supportive environment.
With a team of Mentors to help members to feel comfortable, staff who
really know and understand young people and all members being included by
everybody, Stage2 is
exceptional.” – Parent
This August, Stage2 are running three separate Summer
Schools, covering a huge range of different topics and themes. These will be run at Millennium Point
which is located on Curzon Street in Birmingham’s Eastside (B4 7XG) and will
run from 9am until 5pm, with an early drop-off time of 8:30am
available to help working parents/guardians.
On the Friday of both weeks, all participants will stay for an extra
hour until 6pm to perform in Sharings of their work, which all
parents/guardians will be invited to come and watch.
From Monday 18th to Friday 22nd
August 2014, the company will be running a ‘Taster Week’, where
participants will focus on a different theatre skill each day. Topics include physical theatre, puppetry,
accents, masks, musical theatre and the offstage aspects of a production. Days can be booked individually, with each day
being completely self-contained and costing £25, or you can book for the
whole week at £100 and get one day free.
From Monday 25th to Friday 29th
August 2014, the company will be running two Summer Schools
simultaneously. Both of these cost £100
for the whole week (which is the equivalent of only £20 per day or £2.50 an
hour!).
The first Summer School of this week is an Acting
Workshop. Suitable for any age and
experience, this week will be based around learning performance skills and
putting together performances. It will
also be a great week to get to know other people who enjoy drama and make new
friends.
Stage2 will also be running a Hamlet
Pretext workshop
during this week. The week will be based
around the paraphrasing of the whole 4024 lines of Hamlet by William Shakespeare, arguably the most famous play in the
world! It will be incredibly useful for anyone studying English or Theatre. On
the Friday, there will also be the opportunity for participants to audition for
Hamlet, which will be Stage2’s production in April 2015.
Booking has already opened for all three options and places
will be allocated on a first come, first served basis, so book early to avoid
disappointment!
