"YOU CANNOT JUST BELIEVE PARTWAY, YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE IN IT ALL"
THE BOOK OF MORMON
FRESH
TEAMWORK
Our eclectic team is qualified, creative, hard working and open minded; a unit, a positive force, united in a shared passion for the craft. All believe in equality, diversity & human rights. They are dedicated, talented and experienced and most importantly they are invested and care about each and every young person in their care.
RESPONSIBLE
Protecting the well-being of young people in our care is paramount.Keeping children safe is the most important part of our role and it underpins everything we do. This means that we recognise our legal and ethical obligations to safeguard the physical, emotional and psychological well-being of the young people in our care.
FRESH
FRESH
We are vibrant, energetic, always learning and constantly evolving.
We believe working with children and young people is a privilege and that they deserve to be inspired and excited by what we offer. We believe, therefore, that what we offer should constantly evolve. While we do not want to lose the value of more traditional approaches to teaching performing arts, we work hard to continually re-interpret these methods to maintain their relevance to contemporary society whilst simultaneously working hard to maintain our independence of spirit.
Physical and mental discipline is important but creating an environment allowing freedom of expression in a creative and imaginative way is essential. Skills that then translate in everyday life.
WELCOMING
We believe every child can shine, each in their own way and we welcome them to do just that.
We want all children to feel valued and respected. We work hard to create an environment where children can learn at their own pace and provide their peers with the support, space and encouragement to do the same.
We train and educate but realise everyone is unique, abilities differ, and strengths lie in different places. We challenge every individual so that they achieve the highest level of attainment for them. Standards are high, pressure is not, allowing every young person to experience the joy of training and live performance in a united, confident and supported way.
FLEXIBLE
We offer a tailored, modern approach within a highly structured framework.
We know that while some young people come to us simply for a few hours of fun; to escape outside pressures, to make friends, to gain confidence and others are looking for comprehensive, accredited foundation training in performing arts. We work hard to cater to all. Whatever the motivation, our focus is on learning through enjoyment, while ensuring each young person participates in a way they feel comfortable with.
TRANSPARENT
We are open about how we work, we communicate with our clients, often consult with them and always welcome feedback.
We want you to have confidence in the way that we work. We are always looking for ways to involve young people and their parents/guardians and carers in planning and reviewing the activities we offer. We also work hard to ensure that everyone who works at and with F A M O U S 4.15 can provide feedback on the organisation and its work at any time.
