Holiday Theatre Courses Our aim on the Vallé Academy of Performing Arts Holiday courses is to provide a secure and friendly environment where students will come together to work on a play, musical or short film. We all find it easier to learn whilst having fun and during our Holiday Courses this is achieved whilst producing a play, musical or film in a week. Each session starts with playing theatre games which release tension and inhibitions. Students may learn dances or movement to music which helps physical and mental co-ordination. Performing the dances and script at the end of the course builds confidence and gives a sense of achievement. Painting and making scenery and props in a set time limit stimulates the imagination and focusses the mind. Taking on new characters and dressing in costumes that otherwise may not have been worn adds to the fun and professionalism of our courses. Drama as an art form has excited and stimulated performers and audiences throughout history, and one of our roles on The Vallé Academy of Performing Arts Holiday course is to provide the students with the tools and the vocabulary with which to appreciate this more fully. All students receive a holiday course t-shirt & once the course is complete receive a certificate confirming their participation. With an average of over 100 students successfully completing holiday courses with us every year - the numbers speak for themselves.
