Photos here are taken from our 20th Anniversary show at the O2 Arena back in July.
(Incase you haven't heard, we took 3,500 kids and performed at the O2 Arena!! Where have you been!!)
Over the summer I've had time to reflect on the show and how amazing it was. This was the first time I performed with the students (for health and safety reasons). Usually I'm back stage ready to collect them from the stage. Great place to be as their faces are a picture!
The feeling was amazing. I sang my heart out and danced my cares away. I felt so free, confident and happy. My heart was racing and I was nervous and excited all at the same time. The kids stepped up to the challenge, the teachers and I were there for support, we never needed to lead them, they knew what to do and where to go.
3,500 kids at the O2 sounded daunting at the beginning, but once we were there it was anything but. We were surrounded by wonderful kids, everyone cheered everyone on. There was no competition or 'we're better than you' we were a family all working together.
Not many theatre schools can say that!
So now our cycle starts again, I know most people think, well you've done the O2 there can't be much more than that! Well we keep moving forward. Our currents students get a little bit more confident, take on new challenges inside and out side TT, new students join us and climb the ladder to our next large scale show.
This term we have been asked to perform at the Sunday Circus, a family event at Proud Camden on 13th October and a Christmas event is in the planning stages. Our local show next July will be at Jackson's Lane Theatre.
Why not join us?
Classes start Saturday 7th September 2pm-5pm at Achland Burghley School.
