Four Exciting Sessions Daily: Each day at the Wac Arts Summer School is packed with thrilling activities designed to spark creativity and boost confidence. Each week there will be four activities selected, and you can view the weekly timetable below:
Sessions include Games, Digital Drawing, Film Making and Music Production.
Delve into the world of contemporary digital arts and media, learn how to create dynamic digital drawings, explore the world of film making and learn the components of sound production. In this week there will be a special games workshop where young people play and take risks, developing team working skills and co-operation through healthy competition.
Sessions Include Stage Dance, Creative Writing, Singing, Wigs Hair and Make Up (WHAM)
Broaden your creative skills through the exploration of on and off-stage disciplines. Through stage dance young people develop a sense of presence and movement memory, though singing we’ll explore the range of voice and projection, in turn building confidence. This special week we introduce off stage skills to support young people write their own stories and scenes. Wigs, Hair and Makeup explore the techniques used to create weird and wonderful characters.
Sessions Include Commercial Dance, Drama, Glee Club and Puppetry.
This week is all about creating the most dazzling, high energy, high impact performances. Street dance, drama and Glee Club are all about pushing your performance to the next level. This week is for you if you’re already a strong performer and want to strengthen your natural abilities. Puppetry is introduced this week to offer a new avenue to explore performance, character building and teamwork.
Sessions Include Afro-fusion Dance, Carnival Costumer/Props Making, and Djembe Drums
In preparation for Nottinghill Carnival, we’re excited to launch a special week of afro-Carribean inspired dance and music. Learn to grove to the rhythms of afro-fusion dance styles, and learn how to play Djembe drums. In this very special week, young people will also learn how to make their own carnival costumes and props.
