What is The Bruiser START Academy?

This entry level course is designed for young people who love the idea of performing, but may not have had the chance to be on stage before. This course bridges the gap and is aimed at confidence building through performance.

During the course, you'll explore Bruiser's unique physical style, voice and dance; all culminating in a showcase performance for your family and friends.

Please note that places are limited and will first be allocated to those without a background in theatre before considering other candidates. We particularly welcome applications from neurodivergent young people, and are keen to work with parents/guardians to best adapt the course to suit their particular needs.

“The facilitator was very energetic and made the girls feel comfortable participating in activities over Zoom, which is a great achievement. The girls appeared to be more confident by the end of the session and took away some great ideas for devising their own performance. Overall it was a fantastic workshop, the girls thoroughly enjoyed it.” - Strathearn College
