Kaleidoscope News

Performing Arts Partner of Priory School

Kaleidoscope have been Performing Arts Partners of Priory School for over three years now. During this time, we have extended our range of classes, allowing more Priory students the chance to enhance their skills beyond the school curriculum. We work closely with Priory offering performing arts workshops for the school and our students have had great fun and gained valuable experience performing in Priory's dance shows and musicals. We are now building on the success of our first two years and are offering two popular drama classes on Fridays straight after school - a Year 7 Drama Class, and a Year 8-9 Drama Class. Our Year 8-9 group are currently working towards their Trinity Drama exams - we wish them all luck! As well as doing drama exams the students will also have plenty of performance opportunities this year and they will work towards their Bronze Arts Award (similar to the Duke of Edinburgh Award.) 

Our Year 7-11 Contemporary Dance Class will be performing a dance based on the Great Gatsby film, in Priory's Oscar themed Dance Evening on Tuesday 8th December 2015.

We also offer an exciting Performing Arts Summer School and an Advanced Contemporary Dance Summer School at Priory in the Summer holidays. Next year, we will offer a Youth Theatre for older students.

Mr Smith, the Headteacher of Priory School has recently given this testimonial about us 'Kaleidoscope offer a wonderful range of opportunities for young people. As partners of Priory School, students from Kaleidoscope have featured in our school musicals and other productions. The students are engaged and inspired by the high quality teaching and support provided which develops confidence, creativity and teamwork - essential skills for life.'
