PERFORMING & CREATIVE ARTS
BY MR DUNNING
Throughout the Autumn term, the KAA Performing Arts department have developed a new partnership with Arts Ed School in Chiswick, one of the leading performing arts schools in the UK, providing students at KAA with the chance to learn and work alongside industry professionals. Over the October half term four of our students were lucky enough to receive scholarships to Arts Ed three day ‘Acting and Musical Theatre’ camp where they got to learn how to act for stage and screen as well as learn a song and dance from two West End Musicals. In addition to this, two of our Year 10 & 11 students have successfully auditioned for Arts Ed National Theatre ‘Connections’ Project and will be working with Arts Ed towards their performance at The Lyric Hammersmith in April.

Throughout the Autumn term, Year 5 students from Avondale Park Primary School took part in a series of sessions with the performing and creative arts departments to build upon their project of The Great, The Bold and The Brave. Students had the chance to create mosaics in Art, design a coat of arms in DT and even learn about Greek theatre in Drama. We hope to continue to build upon these partnerships and extend them out to other local primary schools in the Spring and Summer term. Hopefully inspiring students to join KAA and become the next lead actor or actress for our upcoming productions!
