What we offer
Learning Creative Arts is crucial in our personal development and, of course, for every aspiring performer. We work hard with those who join us to ensure that they all get a high level of training whilst they are members of LCA Stage Academy. Each class/workshop we run leads to a performance/showcase, which helps build confidence. In classes, performers get the chance to create a piece of work and rehearse it to performance standard, all whilst applying the techniques that they learn throughout each term. We also run summer workshops, holiday workshops and masterclasses. We are based in Oxted, Surrey.
