36th Brede Flower Festival: raised about £7.5 thousand pounds. Well done everyone!

SCHOLARSHIP WORKSHOP: Claremont Prep School, St Leonards on Sea Saturday 12th September 2015 10am-12pm Ages 7-18yrs

The aim of the Scholarship Workshop is to find 2 pupils who we feel would benefit and excel within the Theatre Sense family. One who is already a member, and one who is new to Theatre Sense. We are not necessarily looking for someone who can already sing, dance and act to a high standard.

Perhaps your child is a great singer, but needs some help with the dancing?

Or maybe they can glide across the stage but lack the confidence to speak on their own or in front of people? Maybe they can do a bit of all 3 (sing, dance, act) but just need a bit more guidance...? This could be for them. We want to recognize their existing achievements and develop them into all-round performers, able to work independently and in a team. To develop and increase their self-confidence and belief, learning life skills, making new friends and getting ready for what lies ahead of them.
