Sing it - Move it - Make it

A Musical Theatre Journey for Young Performers

Join experienced musical theatre performers and coaches Carla Newton, Frances Ash and Charlotte West for a relaxed, fun, and encouraging week of musical theatre. Over five afternoons we'll move like our characters, learn how voices work, write our own mini musical from scratch, rehearse it, then perform for family and friends on Friday. It's all about trying new things, building confidence, and having a lot of laughs.
