What?
SAVVY provides advanced acting & industry tuition for pupils aged 13-19 years of age. Weekly studies include:
script work & text analysis
voice technique
improvisation, mime & other stagecraft

SAVVY occasionally has special days with visiting practitioners holding masterclasses in a variety of theatrical techniques. In the past these have included workshops in pantomime, puppetry, mask, stage combat, dance, singing, Commedia del Arte, set design and prop building. These classes are usually associated with the term's work.

Throughout the year, pupils also participate in performance work at festivals such as the LONDON FESTIVAL OF YOUTH ARTS, the SURREY YOUTH DRAMA FESTIVAL, end-of-year showcase events and LAMDA examinations. Please see SAVVY's
Projects Past & Present to discover more about their work.

How?
Want To Join?
Because SAVVY is dedicated to quality personal tuition the group has no more than 15 participants at any one time.

There is no audition process, although if places are tight, students will be placed on a waiting list.

The cost for the 10week term is £150.00. This is due in full on the first day of term, or may be paid in two instalments. New members are able to try-out 2weeks for free.

If you are interested in reserving a place, or would like any further information on SAVVY, please send an email to Sheree Vickers ... savvytheatre@hotmail.co.uk
