Theatricool has now been providing professional Performing Arts training for students in Colchester and surrounding areas for over 15 years. Throughout this time we have become one of the largest independent local Performing Arts School in the area with over 150 students, many of whom joined us in the early days and are still part of the Theatricool family. We are proud of the reputation we have built for nurturing and developing students with talent and providing a platform for every student to build confidence and enjoy their time at Theatricool.
Many of our students who joined us as young children have gone onto pursue a career in Musical Theatre and several are now tutors at Theatricool Saturday schools. We are extremely proud that several current and former students have been involved in major productions both in local theatre and in London’s West End.
Theatricool is a privately owned Performing Arts Academy, not a national franchise. It was established to provide professional but affordable training in Performing Arts for children and teenagers from Colchester and surrounding areas.
Theatricool has a high ratio of tutors to students, we can identify and nurture natural talent, build confidence and interact with students and parents/guardians. This allows us to tailor training according to each student’s abilities and desire to progress.
All lead tutors have vast experience in Musical Theatre as professional performers, directors and choreographers. They are trained in all aspects of Performing Arts giving our students a wide base of skills.
All Lead tutors qualified to BA(Hons) degree level and/or industry professionals.
Theatricool classes are based at our wonderful new 3-studio space in Chandlers Row. Students enjoy professional facilities such as specialist dance floors, training mirrors and professional sound systems.
All lead tutors are fully insured and DBS (Formerly CRB) checked, most of our lead tutors are also licenced chaperones with Essex County Council. We also have a child protection policy in place for your peace of mind.
Training at Theatricool culminates with two performances per year on a professional stage where students can showcase their talent to family and friends.
