We are excited to bring you BRIT Spring, The BRIT School’s Easter school, located at Westminster Kingsway, Kings Cross. This is a three day programme where children are invited to join us for a combined Performing and Creative Arts pathway. This three day programme consists of, Theatre, Dance, Singing and Art classes. Each subject has an even weighting on the timetable of one and half hours per day.  

We have passionate and highly skilled teachers delivering the courses. They are a mixture of The BRIT School teachers, BRIT Kids (The BRIT School’s Saturday school) and BRIT Alumni. They will be delivering the classes in Westminster Kingsway’s specialist studios with access to a wide range of equipment. These will be fun packed, creative fueled, energetic workshops that will challenge young people to try new experiences and build relationships along the way.

 

WHAT'S ON OFFER?

A Performing and Creative Arts Pathway consisting of, Theatre, Dance, Singing and Art.

THEATRE

The theatre classes at BRIT Spring Kings Cross allow students to be creative and develop work that they might not get the chance to create at school. The removal of grades and written work allows them to explore their own imaginations in an uninhibited way, which produces some very interesting work and allows each student to better understand their own strengths, weaknesses and passions when it comes to acting.  Our theatre classes are not about working to a tight script; instead, children are encouraged to improvise, work on physical theatre and develop their own characters.  

SINGING

In the younger classes children are introduced to a varied repertoire consisting of musical theatre, pop and jazz, so that they are able to develop their individual musical ears and learn to pick up new melodies quickly. There is focus on vocal expression, phrasing, breathing and dynamics to convey the right mood. General vocal technique areas are covered to gain a broad understanding, with an emphasis on breathing and articulation. Classes with older students are encouraged to aim for a high standard of work, and to be more explorative in their listening outside of class. Attention is given to finer details to help achieve a more precise result with focus on phrasing and rhythmic awareness.

DANCE

During the BRIT Spring Kings Cross Dance classes, we will work on strength, flexibility and coordination through warm-ups and technical exercises. Dance offers students the opportunity to learn about posture, coordination and placement. Classes will encourage children to lose inhibitions and gain confidence while developing greater balance, flexibility, strength and musicality. We will cover several genres of dance including street/commercial, contemporary/lyrical and technical jazz. 

At the end of the three days, there will be an informal sharing day in the theatre to the other Performing arts students.

ART

Art offers a space for students to explore their creative potential and express themselves visually. Students  will be  introduced to a wide range of materials, from developing their observational and imaginative drawing skills. They will explore both 2D and 3D work. Over the course of three days, students will produce a collection of works, both finished pieces and experimental works.
