Why: Stage schools create a fun and safe community where like-minded youngsters can express themselves creatively amongst friends. How it works: There are several stage schools in Lancashire, focusing primarily on children and young adults. They require a fee and trained professionals will enhance pupils’ skills in the arts. The schools also offer support and opportunities to attend casting auditions for theatre productions, TV shows and films.Benefits: Performing arts offers play, humour and fun, improving motivation and relieving anxiousness. It also offers students an emotional outlet, as they express a range of emotions onstage. Rehearsing and performing lines, songs and dance routines will improve memory, as well as verbal and non-verbal communication. Exposure to performing arts enables people to develop creativity and cultural awareness.
