Our Get Creative Students Take a Bow…

This August, over 300 young people took part in our Get Creative Summer Celebration, supported by headline sponsors DHL.

Our showcases are a proud moment for us as our talented and dedicated students experience the real-life process of putting on a show. From the hours of rehearsals to the technical planning, to taking selfies in dressing rooms and calming nerves in the wings. We provide the tools, spaces and creative processes that ignite a spark for their creative careers.

And nothing beats the buzz of them finally performing live on stage!

Our HfC youth programmes are designed to develop the skills, confidence and creativity of our young people, working towards a showcase just like this one. When they take their final bow at the end of the night, it's moment to be super proud of what they’ve just achieved. This year's showcase opened up the Cornwall Playhouse stage to students from our HfC Junior and Intermediate Youth Theatre and Youth Dance companies, HfC Senior Youth Theatre and Youth Dance companies, HfC All Boys Dance, HfC Young Company, as well as participants from our Community Club.

We love that we can support these young performers in making lifelong friendships and memories, while forging creative plans for future endeavours.

Now, it's time for them to take a well earned rest before the next project begins!

See you in September for the start of term...
