Summer Schools
a variety of courses from age 5+
Our high quality Summer Schools provide training and activities for students during the summer holidays. Our yearly programme falls under different categories.
Junior Summer Schools
An action packed 5 days of acting singing and dance, culminating in a family show that the students will have put together. Each year a new and exciting themed showcase is written by the Big Little Theatre School Directors. Each child is given a full character part enabling them to develop their skills in an exciting role. This course is suitable for all abilities aged 5 - 11 years. Students will work in two age groups : 5-7 years and 8-11 years, coming together to produce the show at the end of the course.
Intermediate Summer School
An intensive five day course of song & dance designed for students aged 12-18 years. During the week the students will work with a professional director/choreographer and musical director to prepare a showcase presentation at the end of the week. The course is designed to introduce advanced performance techniques and disciplines to younger performers.
