BTS Acting launches in January

Bright Lights Theatre School Posted on by

Brightlights Acting is a new specialist acting only session from Brightlights Theatre School launching this January in Loughborough starting on 11 January 2018.

Students will be taught by Alexander Turner and Nick Sutcliffe with guest teachers from the industry.

For the first few months the sessions will be focusing on devising and physical theatre, finding the “play” in performance, and the importance of movement and body control in theatre. For the older group we will also cover the importance of creating your own work in the modern arts environment. All of this will culminate in a completely devised performance by the end of the Summer term.

BTS Acting classes are on Thursdays and run from 5.30 – 7pm for 8-12 year olds and 7.30 -9 pm for 13 – 18 year olds. Our term dates mirror local schools although we do not break for half term. The cost is just £10 per week, payable termly in advance, and there are several ways to pay including monthly instalments. Also, there is the opportunity to attend 2 taster sessions before making any commitment. If you would like to attend taster sessions it is £20 for the 2 weeks, if you decide to sign up after that we take it from there, if not there is absolutely no obligation.

BTS Acting will operate with exactly the same ethos of inclusivity as BrightLights, where ALL our students are equally welcome and equally nurtured. No experience is necessary – just enthusiasm!!

For further information or to secure your place please call us on 01509 646647 or 01530 542646
