However the Young People created an incredible project, of horror and mystery, inspired by Sophie Mckintosh's short story, The Bucket.
When a woman becomes suspicious of her son and his cousins, after they collect a mysterious object at the beach and start behaving very strangely...
Children from different schools and different parts of Oxfordshire came together to present what was a genuinely gripping tale...
OUR NEXT HOLIDAY COURSES WILL BE PROVISIONALLY DURING THE EASTER AND SUMMER HOLIDAYS OF 2024.

PLAY IN A WEEK- DEVISE A MUSICAL
August 2021
This Summer students worked with experienced deviser and director Fran Godsal, and Susan Glaisher of Vox Box and Oxford Opera, to create a musical based on the idea of Music and Memory.
Taking inspiration from recorded interviews and a huge range of sources, the group developed an entirely unique performance that explored how music taps into our deepest emotions and associations. From memories of the Hallelujah chorus in the Albert Hall to a Sheffield Wednesday match, from grandpas winning rock n' roll dancing contests, to mums doing breakdancing routines, from memories of the first song your mum sang to you, to misheard lyrics and eagworms that drive you mad.
An excellent cast worked hard and played hard to make a poignant and hilarious performance.
The audience feedback speaks for itself.
