A little look inside our Leeds Industry Prep Associates Founding Company session with the fantastic West End pro Morgan Scott! 🤩

Taking inspiration from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, our Associates got stuck into an exciting afternoon of acting, improvisation and character exploration!

From experimenting with different voices and physicality to making spontaneous character choices, our young performers were challenged to think on their feet, trust their instincts and really commit to their performances!

And that’s what we LOVE about this kind of training. Watching young performers discover new sides to their creativity, take risks and grow in confidence with every exercise!

A huge thank you to Morgan for sharing his knowledge, experience and enthusiasm with our Leeds company!

🎭✨ STEP INTO CHARACTER!

What an incredible session with our Leeds Industry Prep Minis & Associates last week, training with the brilliant West End professional Morgan Scott through the wonderful world of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! 🍫

Here’s a little look at the acting and characterisation side of their workshop!

Our young performers explored what it really means to become a character, from using their voices, facial expressions and physicality to experimenting with different personalities, emotions and movement.

Through improvisation exercises, they were encouraged to think on their feet, make bold character choices and really bring their imaginations to life!

And we absolutely LOVED seeing the creativity, confidence and individuality they brought to the room! 🤩

A huge thank you to Morgan for sharing his professional experience and encouraging our young performers to step outside their comfort zones!

This is Industry Prep! Real industry training, incredible professionals and opportunities to develop the skills that make a performer stand out. 💛

A graduate of the prestigious Urdang Academy, where she achieved First Class Honours in Professional Dance and Musical Theatre, Ellie-Rose brings a wealth of professional performance experience to our young performers.

This Sunday, our Manchester Associates will have the opportunity to explore material from MAMMA MIA!, developing their choreography, performance skills, characterisation and the techniques needed to bring a professional musical theatre number to life!

This is what Industry Prep is all about: giving the next generation of performers the opportunity to train directly with professionals who have worked in the industry they’re aspiring to enter.

🌟🎭 LEEDS INDUSTRY PREP… WHAT AN INCREDIBLE DAY!

WOW! What an amazing Sunday with our Leeds Industry Prep performers! 🤩

We were absolutely thrilled to welcome West End professional Morgan Scott back to The West End Experience, alongside the fantastic Ellie-Rose Walker, for a brilliant day of professional musical theatre training!

🍫 Our Mini Associates kicked off the morning with Morgan, stepping into the wonderful world of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, exploring singing, acting, characterisation and professional choreography!

💙 In the afternoon, our older Industry Prep Associates took things to another level, working with both Morgan and Ellie-Rose on material from MAMMA MIA! and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!

From learning professional choreography to performing scenes, exploring characters and working on vocals, the talent, energy and acting in the room were absolutely INCREDIBLE! 👏

And to make the day even more special, we officially welcomed our SECOND LEEDS INDUSTRY PREP COMPANY! 🌟 What a fantastic start for our newest Associates!

We finished with a brilliant group Q&A, giving our performers the chance to ask questions, hear real industry experiences and gain valuable advice from the professionals themselves.

We couldn’t be prouder of everyone who joined us. The confidence, creativity, commitment and sheer talent on display were outstanding!

A HUGE thank you to Morgan and Ellie-Rose for such an inspiring day! ❤️ We’re so lucky to work with professionals like you both, who inspire and encourage the next generation of performers! @morgsscott @ellie_rose99

We can’t wait to share all the videos from this incredible day! 🤩🎭

LEEDS… WHAT A TALENTED GROUP! 💛🎭
