How Glow Theatre Group works
Glow Theatre Group runs a series of weekly rehearsals each term, preparing the plays, musicals and festival work that we stage every year. The main rehearsals are held on Saturday afternoons during term time.
In the first weeks, children are given their scripts and song sheets. Working in a combination of one-to-one, small group and whole cast sessions, the show is rehearsed throughout the term, ready for the end of session shows. Each rehearsal session is structured to teach the children a variety of different theatrical skills and stagecraft, building on their skill levels, their previous experiences and their confidence as a performer.
Our rehearsals are great fun, but the emphasis is also on learning and developing, so each rehearsal is very carefully structured, and we encourage high levels of focus from all our young actors.
We hold full stage, technical and dress rehearsals at the show venue during the fortnight before a performance, often taking weekday evenings and a whole weekend to transport the performance onto the theatre stage from the rehearsal room onto the theatre stage. These are a vital part of the preparation and attendance is compulsory.
LAMDA
We also hold weekly LAMDA classes, though which young people can work towards their LAMDA qualifications from Grade 1 to Grade 8 in a number of different disciplines. Classes are held at various times during the week.
