As life has changed so dramatically in the last two months Starmakers has followed suit and adapted by transitioning to Virtual Live lessons and the accompanying online activities. As a teacher I’m used to being reactive and continually adapting and evaluating to grow and develop lessons to keep them exciting and engaging. I have been delighted to see students at home creating. My Contemporary dancers have produced a dance film, inspired by the Instagram movement “dancing alone together”

Ballerinas and Musical Theatre dancers have performed as part of our ‘Theatre Lounge’, a program created to follow our normal syllabus and performance schedule. Students have produced posters and tickets, several live streaming to Grandparents across the county.

Star - Makers has also been launched. A weekly collection of arts and crafts inspired by virtual learning. Each week on Facebook and Instagram these amazing makes are being shared for all to see and perhaps inspire others to get crafting and making to.

My younger youth theatre members have really enjoyed our weekly singalongs of some great upbeat songs as well as our now weekly Quiz.
