Professional training for enjoyment, for a future career or for anyone wanting to learn skills in acting, singing, dance, musical theatre and more.
Whether you are a future star of stage and screen or want to learn skills with people your own age and perform in shows, Stageworks has something to offer you.
Stageworks is for anyone who enjoys performing arts, from beginners to young people who have already had some training or experience on stage.
From Wilde to Wicked; from Pinter to panto; from soaps to Shakespeare—wherever your preferences and talents lie, we can help you to develop and hone the essential skills.
We can teach you skills and techniques in acting, singing, musical theatre, dance and more in classes that are full of variety and great fun to take part in. Have lots of laughs with people your own age and make lots of new friends while learning essential performing arts skills.
Stageworks offers easy entry classes at exceptionally low cost. You can choose from two modules: drama and acting techniques or drama and acting techniques combined with musical theatre singing and dance. You can add or take separately jazz and street dance and other dance styles through our dance school department, and also take private singing lessons with our vocal coaches.
Stageworks also gives you lots of opportunities to show off these skills in front of an audience in different types of performances from short pieces for invited family and friends to large-scale musical productions in front of a paying audience.
For those who want more performance opportunities you can audition for our theatre company.
Many of our past students have gone on to be accepted onto prestigious performing arts courses at university or to have successful careers as performers, stage managers, teachers and more. Others have begun a lifelong hobby and taken away with them great memories and important life skills from taking part in our classes.
There are two age bands for Stageworks: 10 to 12 years and 13 to 19 years plus. For younger students, StageWise provides the perfect grounding in performing arts in a safe, fun and nurturing environment.
Main classes in the Stockport and Tameside area take place at Tameside Centre For Performing Arts, Hyde Clarendon Sixth Form College, Clarendon Road, Hyde, Cheshire SK14 2JZ.
