SMILE- STRUCTURE / ANSWERS TO FAQ’S
4 or 5 DAY COURSES
Monday 9:30am-3:30pm Fun introduction and start creating a story idea. Any interest , skill or talent can be added into the story and all ideas are discussed.
The workshop leader then takes these ideas and creates a working script. Crafts and short music time slots on offer.

Students are free to leave after the performance with a parent and guardian.
We work with a sign in/ sign out method for collection and drop off unless the student is over 16 and we have the appropriate permission in writing.
The 5 day course is a similar timetable although these performances can be longer as there is an extra day to create!
MUSIC INTRODUCTORY LESSONS
Part of smile is to show off things you love and are good at BUT also to build confidence to try out the new. Our music Specialist is on hand for introductory Piano and Guitar lessons through out each day.
BREAKS
From 9:30- 3:30pm we have two small breaks ( 15-20 minutes) and one lunch break ( 45minutes- hour)with water and toilet stops whenever needed.
These can vary slightly in times as the students help decide when is best to take them around their creation and rehearsal.
Weather permitting we like to get outside for some of these breaks and students are encouraged to interact. Creative activities are on offer as well as game play organised by a member of staff.
