Mansfield Palace Theatre is running a week-long workshop, from Monday 14th to Friday, 18th August – its first Theatre Holiday Camp.
The workshop will be an opportunity for children aged 8 to 16 to develop their skills in singing, dancing, and acting, while having fun, building confidence, and making new friends.
The workshop will cost £50 per child, with a discounted rate of £35 for siblings for the full week, as the young people work towards a show that will be performed on the Friday afternoon.
During the week, children will have the opportunity to learn from a professional team of singing, dancing, and acting tutors, led by local practitioner Julie Bagshaw.
“We are excited to be bringing our first ever Holiday Club to Mansfield Palace Theatre this year,” she said. “Led by professional practitioners in acting, singing and dancing, children will have the opportunity to stage a full show in just a week!
“Working in an inclusive and creative environment with other children from across the local area, with a real focus on confidence building and imagination, we are really keen to ensure all children are able to express themselves in a nurturing and wholly-inclusive way.”
All sessions will be held at the Palace Theatre, which is run by Mansfield District Council. Christopher Neil, the council’s learning and aspiration manager, said: “We are delighted to be introducing this Summer School opportunity and are looking forward to welcoming Julie and other professional practitioners to the Palace for an exciting, fun and great week of learning with the team. We expect spaces to fill up fast, so don’t delay if you wish to get involved in this exciting new project.”
To register children, email Lisa Hopkinson on [email protected] to request an application form. Once you have completed the application form and your place is confirmed, a link for payment will be provided.
The workshop is open to children aged 8-16 years old. It will run from 10am to 3pm, with drop-off available from 9.30am. Free lunches and refreshments will be provided each day.
