Students from Monkton Wood Academy had an exceptional opportunity to participate in the Somerstage Gifted and Talented Singing and Musical Theatre Workshop, organised by Somerset Music.
This dynamic workshop was designed to boost students’ confidence, refine their performance abilities, and offer an insight into the professional world of musical theatre.
Facilitated by two seasoned performers with experience in national and international theatre tours, the workshop combined elements of dance, acting, and singing.
Students engaged in a variety of physical activities and exercises that challenged them to stretch their creativity and expressiveness on stage.
Students said: “It was an amazing and tiring experience, but it really inspired us and helped us to grow in confidence—especially as we prepare for auditions for our upcoming school musical production of School of Rock.”
A school spokesperson said: “The academy is thrilled to see how this experience has energised and inspired the students, sparking enthusiasm and self-confidence as they take on new performance opportunities in the school year ahead.”
