STRAND 1
The Aspiring Performer
The Aspiring Performer strand is aimed at students aged 11+ who have a passion for performing and an aspiration to pursue a future in the performing arts.
Students train in all three musical theatre disciplines (acting, singing and dance) in weekly evening classes. All classes take place in state-of-the-art studios based at the Create Theatre in Mansfield.
Classes are tiered according to skill and age level, ensuring that all students are continually challenged to develop and hone their performance skills and techniques.
Alongside weekly skills-based training, students have the opportunity to audition for and perform in Funky Studios performances and productions throughout the year.
1:1 tuition in singing, piano, guitar, music theory and acting is also available to our ‘Aspiring Performer’ students.
Why Train with Us?
Funky Studios has always stood apart from other training providers by focusing on bespoke training for individuals. Our ethos is always to develop and hone the performance skills and techniques of our students while nurturing their individual aspirations and interests. Our students have a real passion for performing with an aspiration to building a future within the performing arts industry and our training allows them to become fully prepared for the step towards professional training.
What Our Students Say?
“Joining Funky Studios when I was 12 years old was probably the best choice I've ever made. Not only have I been given industry standard training in all areas of expertise, but I became part of a family; the Funky Family! Without training at Funky I wouldn't be half the person I am today. Funky has given me the confidence to go out of my comfort zone, to push myself and achieve things I never thought I'd be capable of. I can definitely say I now know the importance and meaning of hard work and dedication to your passion. Not only this, I have been consistently encouraged to be proud of who I am and always be myself. If twelve-year-old me could time travel and see the person she's become, I'd like to think that she would be amazed and very proud of herself, and it’s all thanks to Katie, the tutors and my amazing Funky Family!”
