A fantastic place to bring out your childs potential in all aspects of performing arts!

 


 

Stage Door School was established in January 2007 by Rachel Griffiths and has grown from strength to strength. Student enrolment has tripled in the first year making Stage Door School a local success story!

 

Rachel has been performing as both an actor and singer since the age of ten years old and so has massive experience in the field.  She trained at The Paul McCartney School in Liverpool and has a BA Hons in Performing Arts.

 


 

At Stage Door we teach a wide variety of performing arts to students from 6 - 18 yrs old, we also offer advanced classes to help gain recognised qualifications.

 

Stage Door School for Performing Arts provides a safe, friendly and lively environment where young people can gain self-confidence and develop new skills in all aspects of performing arts. Students work along side qualified teachers and experienced professionals from the performing arts industry, including actors, dancers, singers, stage managers, television producers and writers. We strive to offer the latest techniques in use within the industry and choose teachers who can provide students with a diverse range of practical skills and continually support and encourage each student to achieve their full potential.


At Stage Door School we believe that any young person, regardless of their background or previous experience can benefit from our classes. Our weekly workshops help each student to develop high standards in a variety of performance disciplines as well as expanding a wide range of life skills such as awareness of body language, co-operation, observation, co-ordination, concentration, and the encouragement of an active imagination. Time spent at Stage Door School for Performing Arts also helps to develop a healthy self-confidence in all of our students.

 


 

We host at least one professional performance per year.

 

Our children often work alongside high profile artists such as:

 

Gaz Wall (DJ) - Has residency at many high profile clubs in both Ibiza and Manchester.

Amy Jenkins - dancer, plays in many West End shows.

Stage Door School, Bury

Your local Drama Academy and more!

 


 

Classes are open to young people aged 6 to 18 years and take place on a weekly basis. Students are taught skills in dance, drama and music, focusing on a different style within these disciplines each term, so in your first term you may concentrate on the performance skills needed for musical theatre and in term two, you may learn street dance, screen acting and pop music. We aim to keep the curriculum as varied as possible and class sizes are strictly limited to ensure every person receives the maximum benefit from their tuition. Each term ends with a performance held at a local venue where students can showcase the skills developed throughout the term. Stage Door also produces at least one show a year at a professional theatre. The classes currently on offer within our weekly curriculum include:

 

  • Street Dance
  • Improvisation
  • Singing for the Stage
  • Jazz
  • Musical Theatre
  • Pop Music
  • Tap
  • Screen Acting
  • Speech/Dialect
  • Physical Theatre
  • Acting for the Stage
  • Voice and Harmony

  •  

    Advanced classes enable students to gain nationally recognised qualifications in performing arts from Trinity-Guildhall .They are designed to assist any students who may like to pursue performing arts as a career or students who have reached a high standard in regular classes and would like to continue learning at an advanced level and gain qualifications. The advanced classes are available to any students from 9-18 years of age.

     

    As well as our weekly curriculum we run short courses during school holidays. A selection of these are;

  • Musical Theatre
  • Circus Skills
  • Physical Theatre
  • DJing
  • Television Production
  • Sound Recording
  • Song Writing
  • Writing for the Stage and Screen

    I love Stagedoor so much that I am going to write another review for the out of this world drama school!!!! We have such good fun every single week doing different aspects of dance, drama and singing and we also do special exercises for breathing, voice projection and diction- all taught brilliantly by Rachel and Keeley! We performed at the Albert Halls a few months ago which was just incredible, but rather nerve-racking all the same. This term has been superb as we have all worked on different Shakespearean plays, such as Twelfth Night and The Winters Tale. Rachel makes sure that everyone gets a speaking part and has something to do! Stagedoor is the BEST ever and Saturday is now my favourite day of the week after almost two terms of fantastic fun!!!

    i go to Stage Door at Haslingden High School, and iʼve not been going long, but stage door is so much fun and at the moment we are rehearsing for Shakespeare, which weʼre doing in July. itʼs loads of fun and gives you more confidence on stage. we do acting, dancing and singing. everyone there is so friendly, and Rachel and Keely are really nice. in the play, our group are doing a 1920ʼs dance. itʼs really cool and heaps of fun to learn.

    Stage Door School for Performing Arts is the best Performing Arts school in Bury by far! Iʼve attended Stage Door since the first term it opened in Ramsbottom and have thoroughly enjoyed every Saturday afternoon! Each term we do different shows, with different themes of Dance, Acting and Singing. Weʼve done shows such as Guys and Dolls - which allowed me to have the great part of Sarah Brown, Snow White which was our Christmas panto and we have recently finished our first professional theatre performance of "Blunderland" which was written especially for us and it was a great experience to bring both groups from Ramsbottom and Haslingden together and see what an amazing show we can pull off, but without the help of Rachel (the big boss lady and drama and singing teacher) and Keeley (the wacky dance teacher) it wouldnʼt of been possible. It is a great way to spend Saturday afternoons having fun, becoming more confident and making some great new friends. Stage Door is DEFINATELY the Best in Bury.. Beki Smith or.. Ace of Spades in Blunderland =)

    Stage Door is without doubt the best Drama facility ! My daughter has behaviour problems but with excellent support from Rachel has begun to overcome this and settled well, making friends with pupils and staff alike. The staff care about each and every student that attends and ʼpartsʼ are shared enabling evryone to have a starring position at some point. Personally I have to say that Rachel is outstanding at what she does and her teaching is done from the heart not the pocket like some other places I know!!!

    I think that Stagedoor is amazing and a great opportunity for young people to discover new talents in the world of theatre. We do dancing, singing and acting, generally performing! I go and it is always such good fun, from playing a nonsensical Master of Ceremonies, to a beautiful Lady in Shakespeares Twelfth Night. It really is a fabulous stage school!

    Stage Door School For Performing Arts is without a shadow of a doubt the greatest Performing Arts school in Bury, maybe the country, maybe the world. I actually go to Stage Door in Ramsbottom and, Itʼs really good fun, you make friends there and you learn lots of new skills. Weʼve just done one of our professional performances and it was at the Bolton Albert Halls, it was a huge oppertunity for everyone to shine and I think we all did! This term weʼre doing Shakespeare which is very different to last term, but, I think weʼre all up for it. I would DEFINATELY recommend Stage Door to anyone thinking of joining a Performing Arts school, and, anyone whoʼs not thinking of it. Itʼs definately a lot of fun and gives you the confidence to do things you could never have done before.
