All the world's a stage...
(Just maybe not always the type you'd expect!)
Theatre. It’s the oldest form of mass entertainment and we absolutely love it!
People delivering material before others that they have rehearsed and perfected, live and uncut! People using their language and performance skills to communicate and educate, taking their audience on a journey, all while being taken on a journey themselves.
There is such freedom in being given space to explore a range of emotions, giving breath to well-crafted prose, and not being judged for your display but rather, being celebrated for your talent and bravery!
And, there is such power in engaging an audience. On stage, you have the audience's complete undivided attention - giving you permission to shape their thoughts and feelings, make them laugh out loud, pique their curiosity, cause them to reflect or perhaps appeal to their emotions in solidarity with your character’s plight.
These are the moments we live for as actors and, at Showstopper Kid's Club we want to give our participants a taste of that magic.
Fully kitted out spaces complete with lighting rig, trap doors and heavy stage curtain are wonderful, but we say the lack of a technical and professional stage setting should not be the denial of the opportunity to experience the wonder of theatre itself!
Participants at Showstopper Kid's Club will learn the fundamentals of acting and stage craft. They’ll develop new skills and discover hidden talents while having fun and making new friends in our safe and encouraging environments.
Talk to your school teacher or local youth centre about booking a workshop with us. We'll transform whatever space they have into a place where children can thrive as they showcase their talents to their peers, and have performance opportunities at the end of each day.
