“In a world bogged down in grey conformity, the performing arts play a vital role in inspiring young people and developing their imaginations.” (Lord Puttnam)
“Economies rise and fall on the ability to innovate. They are no longer built on the backbone of manufacturing. Today’s economies are based on creativity, performance and teamwork – and these skills need to be developed at an early stage. That is what Artis is about.” (Sir Michael Bichard)
“At my school, every child was given the chance to participate in dance, drama and music. There were no boundaries….. the exploration was seamless and each subject related to the other. It was a time I shall not forget, and the enthusiasm and alents of the teachers laid the foundations for my future life.” (Evelyn Glennie)
Good speaking and listening underpin the whole curriculum. Another reason for choosing Artis is because their programme is excellent in developing these essential skills in an enjoyable and creative way.
