The Performing Arts Company

Child & Youth Theatre Company providing drama and creative arts for children age
5 - 18 yrs.

Our aim is to make the arts more available and accesible to all school children. We at The Performing Arts Company believe that drama isn't just about 'acting' but also provides an outlet for self expression, it develops imagination and artisitc awareness; it increases social and mental freedom, fluency of speech, self respect, self confidence and above all... it's FUN!

Drama gives students the opportunity to learn how to co-operate with others, aids orderly thinking and the ability to organise. The benefits do not only accrue through students participating actively in dramatic activity, they also learn through observing others.
 
The Performing Arts Company will provide what we hope you will see as the perfect balance of education, play, and stimulation. We run to a carefully planned curriculum paying equal attention to ALL our students' needs. We are committed to a two way communication process with our parents to ensure that we have total understanding and support.

We use practical explorations on how to make, perform and respond to drama. Our workshops encourage students with:

★ Confidence
★ Self Expression
★ Team Working Skills
★ Speaking and Listening
★ Emotional Intelligence
★ Community Involvement
★ Development of Practical, Creative and Intellectual Skills
★ Use The Students Own Work As A Stimulus
★ Understand The Importance Of The Process
★ Cross Curricular Links With Literacy
★ And Above All FUN!
 
We commit ourselves to putting on a minimum of two shows a year for students to put their skills into practice and for parents, family and friends to view the students work and progress. We are open all year and only close for two weeks during the Christmas holidays.

We have the Bolton Mark of Positive Contributioin and
