STATE OF THE ARTS - THE COMPANY

Aside from the lessons available at the academy, we offer the opportunity to audition to be part of “The Company” - an elite musical theatre ensemble, ideal for triple-threat students who wish to pursue a professional career in the performing arts industry.

 

Entry to this class will result in a successful, prepared dance, singing and acting audition, assessed by a panel of industry professionals.

 

“The Company” is quick-paced, focused and structured, with productions performed at external venues in the local area, showcasing the students and representing the academy. 

 

As part of “The Company” students will also under-take a group musical theatre exam, being assessed in a production on their individual performance.

RAISE YOUR VOICE

Raise your voice is a singing group aimed, not only at those who have diagnosed conditions such as Parkinson’s, Dementia and COPD, to name just a few, but to anyone who wants to take part in a fun, social activity benefitting positive mental and physical health.


It has been proved that singing can improve circulation, boost the immune system, increase brain activity and is suitable for all ages and abilities. “Music […] can be used to improve mood, regulate emotion and relieve stress” (Clair & Memmott, 2008).


Raise your voice is a service that aims to incorporate social interaction, peer support, engagement and active participation to improve quality of life, communication and social engagement.


An active singing program can improve cognition and life satisfaction among individuals with dementia in an assisted living facility.


Come and join us to sing songs from yesteryear and boost your health and happiness in the process.
