Chesterfield Studios is a centre for young people to participate in and nurture their love for the Performing Arts.
Chesterfield Studios specialises in musical theatre classes and productions made up of young people from north-east Derbyshire. We promote the three important skills to train and develop musical theatre performers; dancing, singing and acting.
We contribute to music-making in Derbyshire by delivering singing opportunities to our participants and offering them the opportunity to perform with professional musicians.
Children and young people from pre-school to university are catered for in a broad range of classes, split according to age, and led by qualified teachers and working industry professionals.
Chesterfield Studios Musical Theatre workshops for schools reflect the training we provide to young people on a day-to-day basis. The workshops offer a high-impact session, firmly grounded on a ‘process not product’ methodology where students are encouraged to actively take part and do their best.
All workshops are tailored to fit the needs of the school. We are able to work on a broad and varied repertoire, either providing works to use in the sessions or building a session around a particular musical the school chooses, perhaps in preparation for an upcoming school performance.
During the course of the workshop, participants will be taught the chosen songs, and given some context into the style and character of the piece, before some staging and choreography is rehearsed, in preparation for a relaxed showing of work at the end of the day.
In addition to this we offer a range of children’s school holiday activities and preschool arts sessions.
Our organisation is ever growing so please check out our website for the latest offerings.
