Tap Into Your Students' Creative Side on a Performing Arts School Trip

Are your students destined for extraordinary things? Is it their ambition to see their name in lights, or are they looking to learn more about the exhilarating world of performing arts? Students who are studying drama, theatre or dance are likely to be very creative and expressive individuals, so finding a trip where they can explore their passions further can greatly enhance their academic experience. 

There are several locations to consider when booking a school trip for performing arts students, and in this blog, we share ideas for things to do that will get their creative juices flowing.

 

Take a bite of the Big Apple 

New York does not do things by halves, not even their pizza, so delivering a showstopping trip for performing art, film and dance students is no exception!

Broadway is one of the most famous places associated with drama, dance, production and design. It encompasses all areas of the profession and can inspire many careers such as theatrical processes, producing, designing and directing. 

As well as enjoying the hustle and bustle of this iconic city, students can explore locations that feature in their favourite movies and shows. Who knows, they may even meet their heroes in person as they shop on Fifth Avenue or hang out at a cool cafe. 

Give students the chance to get creative and stuck into Broadway life by getting involved in a New York theatre workshop (which is just one of many workshops we offer). Students can experience all aspects of the creative and production process, from acting, dancing, and design, all based around a particular show they will then go on to see live. During the show, your class can relish their hard work and see the joys that come with creative accomplishment. 

 

Lose themselves in La La Land

Los Angeles is the place that dreams are made of for any budding performer, creative or producer. It houses some of the most influential sites, including The Dolby Theatre, Warner Bros Studios, Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Santa Monica- locations that are just as legendary as the silver screen itself. 

Students can find their icons on the Hollywood Walk of Fame whilst taking a journey through the ages. Tours and workshops can also be arranged and are designed to meet your group's special interest to ensure they get the most out of this one-of-a-kind experience. Our Performing Arts Workshops in Los Angeles are run by our dedicated tour directors who are experts in all production genres, including directing, screenwriting, auditioning, improvisation and filmmaking. They will ensure that they tap into your student's creative side and allow them to do more of what they love. 

 

From Paris with love

Paris is a wonderful place for any student to visit. Rich in culture and history, it's the perfect place to create, learn and explore. As it's the backdrop to many movies and drama series, it's a familiar place that lends itself particularly well to those studying dance and performing arts.

With some of the world's most coveted theatres, such as Palais Garnier and The Opera Bastille, students gain access to dazzling stage facilities, integrated scenery, costume and accessory workshops, as well as its numerous work areas and rehearsal rooms. These behind-the-scenes guided tours provide backstage access to the wings, stage and lively rehearsal areas. These kinds of experiences help students gain a better understanding of all aspects of the profession and potential avenues they can explore in their bright futures. 

 

London - A world leader in stage and screen

It’s easy to forget that London is where many classic masterpieces were born. Since the days of the rivalry between William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe in Elizabethan London, people have fallen in love with all things stage, which now, of course, includes the silver screen.

If your students are pursuing a career in performing arts, then London and the West End are likely to be on your buzzing itinerary. We can help arrange backstage theatre tours and targeted workshops, which are available at venues across the city, aiming to develop talent in core dance and drama skills and give essential behind-the-scenes access to aspiring performers and crew.

Working closely with theatre agencies in the capital, we can offer you the best rates and theatre seats. Group prices are available for the most popular West End shows, including  Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Matilda, the Lion King and more.
