Welcome
to Bedazzle
The Bedazzle concept is designed to
complement the Primary School curriculum
with performing arts training in drama, dance and song to students aged 6 – 11.
It offers after-school courses run from school premises at the end of the school
day. In addition, performing arts ‘workshops’ are provided during school
holidays running from one to five days. Bedazzle students are also offered the
opportunity to perform annually at a national theatre, usually at The Rhodes
Arts Complex in Bishop’s Stortford and occasionally in London.
Students also have the option to enter the accredited LAMDA (London
Academy of Music & Dramatic Arts) Drama exams. These are held at our
own exam centre. To date we have a 100% pass record, the majority at top
‘Distinction’ level. For the really ambitious, we also have a Children’s Casting
Agency – the audition process is a great confidence-builder and we’ve achieved
quite a few successes.
TheAfter-Schools course runs for 90-minutes (one day per week, ten weeks
per school term). Students receive a free Bedazzle T-shirt. We issue regular
Bedazzle Newsletters where parents will receive details outlining events during
the year and a breakdown of costs for tickets to our spectacular Bedazzle shows
(participation in shows is optional).
In addition to theatre skills, performing arts training enable our students to
grow in confidence, expand their communication and inspire creativity; life-
skills that stay with them whatever paths they follow in life. Bedazzle staff are
DBS checked, follow robust safeguarding procedures and all are professionals
from the performing arts and media industries.
Kind regards...

3. The Bedazzle Course
Emerging from our Bedazzle Theatre Company, we developed our weekday
Theatre School courses. Bedazzle is established across the region. The offer we
make is:
• Sessions covering key disciplines: Drama, Dance & Singing.
• Fun way to keep fit.
• Open to students aged 6 to 11.
• Additional holiday ‘workshop’courses.
• Option to take accredited LAMDA Drama exams.
• Perform in Bedazzle shows at professional theatres.
• Option to audition to join the Bedazzle Casting Agency.
Weekday Theatre School
Typically, the 90-minute classes start at 3:20pm. so students come straight
from their final lessons of the day. Students are supervised until collected,
no student is allowed off school premises without the permission of their
parents. We start with warm-ups and during the course, equal time is spent
on the three key areas: Dance, Drama and Song. Each term culminates with
an open-class, this gives our students a goal and helps them develop
teamwork. We also liaise with school teachers to allow, students to
perform at school assemblies occasionally.
Holiday Workshops
‘Workshops’are available during the summer holidays. Our 5-day
‘Pop Schools’ and ‘Funky Fit’ are very popular and will be on
offer every summer. ‘Pop School’ offers students the chance to
pick songs, choreograph a routine and pose for a photo-shoot –
culminating with a live performance for family and friends and
a recorded CD, as a memento. ‘Funky-Fit’ is a dance/exercise
workshop where students
devise routines and record to
video. We also offer musical
theatre workshops ‘Show-in-
a-Week’,where students devise
and rehearse for a live show.
In-School Workshops
We also deliver ‘standalone’
or curriculum-based one-day
workshops during school time
such as ‘International Day’,
‘Arts Day’, we can tailor the
course content to individual
school requirements.

4. Annual Variety Show
The hi-light each year is our Bedazzle Variety
Show, held at a local National Theatre. We bring
together all our local Bedazzle Theatre School
groups and for many students this is their first
experience on a professional stage. The variety
show includes drama pieces, song and dance the
students have learned on the bedazzle course as
well as extracts from their LAMDA exam entries.
Public Performances
We are often asked to perform at local events
rangingfromgardenpartiesandschoolfairstolocal
theatre and carnivals. We embrace them as much
as our students can manage and they inevitably
attract local press attention too. It also allows us
to contribute to various charities, especially the
smaller, local charities that often get overlooked.
Our students find it fulfiling that performing in
public can have beneficial effects for others as
well as for themselves.
Presentations
At the end of each school term, we hold an open-
class where family, teachers and friends are
invited to view a class in action followed by a
short performance. At least once a year, the class
concentrates on their own show, typically of 30-
minutes duration. Our termly Newsletters keep
parents up-to-date with our projects and shows.

committed, there’s the opportunity
to audition for our exclusive
Casting Agency. The experience
of auditioning for professional TV,
film and stage shows is a great
confidence-builder… and of course,
we have the occasional successful
placement!
