What can the performing arts give to children?
Y
ou want your child to be successful - well equipped to face the world. In her blog
article ‘Why Children’s Theatre Matters’ Lyn Gardner says, ‘Theatre for children fires the imagination; it gives our children the skills and the creativity necessary to face the world, to understand it and perhaps to change it too.’ If your child could do with a creative boost, the performing arts is a great way to keep the mind and body fit and energised. Stagecoach is the recognised leader in performing arts classes for children - give them a call today to find out more.
