All of our tutors combine teaching expertise with a wealth of professional experience, a mix that helps them to bring the best out in every child . At ArtsEd we understand that every child is unique and we work hard to help every participant realise their individuality and to reach their full potential. Whether with us at the weekend or on one of our holiday courses, participants are encouraged to explore their imaginations and their emotions, ensuring that they develop confidence and creativity as well as performance skills.
Our weekend and holiday courses give young people the chance to spread their creative wings and to channel their energy and emotions.
The strength of our training combined with our industry connections means that our young people get some amazing performance opportunities. Here they are performing at the Olivier Awards at the Royal Albert Hall.
