This new exciting part of PerformerZone was
launched in September 2005. We combine professional training with performance
opportunities in public theatres in Brighton and Hove.
So far
we have produced 5 shows ('Beauty And The Beast', 'I Wanna Be Bad', 'Feather
Boy' and 'Pass It On', HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL and FAME)
PERFORMERZONE - for young people
(normally aged 14 -25 years old), provides a unique training ground for the
future generation of professionals.
Students work with the best West End and RSC professional performers, who
also teach students at the top London Drama
and Musical Theatre Academies.
This offers an exciting alternative to both schools' drama training and local
amateur theatre companies. A stepping-stone for future professionals.
An excellent training in all performance arts (the 'triple threat' of
singing, dancing and acting skills) on a weekly basis - with workshops,
classes and rehearsals - is combined with regular opportunities to perform
both plays and musicals in public theatre spaces in the Brighton and Hove
area.
All performances are directed and choreographed by the best professional
practitioners. This provides an exciting and stimulating direct link with the
professional market place - an excellent way to train up for drama school...
Or just to develop your performing arts skills and have a great time.
Our first production was the Royal Shakespeare
Company's exciting dramatic telling of 'BEAUTY AND THE BEAST' at The Pavilion Theatre, The Dome, Brighton on December 11th 2005 co-directed by RSC actor Gary
Sefton - who played the Beast in the original production at Stratford - and
Pete Harris. This was a sell-out success and set an impressive standard for
the on-going group of players.
Then, in April 2006 after holding further
competitive auditions to find a talented cast of 11 - 19 year olds, we
produced 'FEATHER BOY - THE MUSICAL' shows.html- based on the award winning novel by
Brighton author Nicky Singer. This exciting new musical was presented at The
Old Market, Hove, in April 2006, as part of
The National Theatre 'Shell Connections' Nationwide Youth Theatre project.
This was a major triumph and we sold over 800 tickets! We also presented the new play 'PASS IT ON' shows.htmlby Doug Lucie with a talented cast aged 14 - 21 year olds,
with much success, at The Nightingale Theatre, Surrey Street, Brighton BN1.
Both these productions were highly commended by the National Theatre
adjudicators who visited our productions to give their assessments.
WHAT THE NATIONAL THEATRE ADJUDICATOR
SAID ... "This was
something special ... unique to this production of Feather Boy was the
cohesion, energy and incisiveness of the ensemble, managing to stay in
character and perform the very professional choreography at the same
time. The final stage sequence into the curtain call would have put to shame
many so-called professional casts. Only the keyboard was amplified, but all
voices were always clear and true - a tribute to their articulation and
projection. One of the most enthusiastic audience responses I have ever seen
in 'Shell Connections', and it was perfectly clear that PerformerZone is
committed in every aspect of theatre" ...
WELL DONE
TO THE TALENTED CAST!
