We offer the ultimate creative experience : Every single workshop is completely unique because we work with the individual needs and talents of each group, making it totally tailor made and very special for each participant. If you want to write, create art, make films, choreograph, direct, act, play music, write music, form a band, then we can't wait to have them in the room and see the diversity of talent and interests they have.
​
The theme this summer will be : "The internet" A magical portal into another reality. Room for endless creation, endless imagination, endless freedom. It’s a truism that the internet has changed everything: how we work, how we communicate, how we consume, and even – it has been argued – how we think.
How do you feel about the internet in this digital age of smartphones, google home, and Siri. Are they tools for liberation or enslavement. Do they help or hinder our work as artists? What are the messages we are sending out into the universe via this powerful web of technology… Are we more connected or more disconnected. Plugged in or switched off? How are we helping others and how are we creating the lives we want to live? This summer at LEAP we will delve into these questions and devise a piece of theatre exploring the infinite reality of cyberspace and what it means to be online as an artist. Be prepared to be more creative than we have ever been, reinvent showstopping musical numbers from ‘Dear Even Hanson’, ‘Be More Chill’, ‘Waitress’ and many more…
We will dive into virtual reality and how to create the world we want to live in!
​
ALL ABILITIES WELCOME - we seek diversity and creativity. At LEAP we use professional actor/facilitators with extensive theatre credits from the Royal Shakespeare Company, National Theatre, the West End and Broadway.You will be working with top West End performers on show stopping musical numbers and choreography from the most current musicals on the West End and Broadway
The final performance is centred around what our young performers love to do. We will ask them on the first day to bring something to share with us all, be it a song, dance, acting, artwork, set deign etc. Then we incorporate that into the week and the final performance - celebrating and showcasing their strengths and passions. Our mission is to push them to do their best in a safe space. A non judgmental environment where they have the freedom to express themselves and co- create alongside West End actors. LEAP is a truly unique experience!
