Performing Arts & Cinematography
The School of Performing Arts & Cinematography is a not-for-profit organisation which opened in 1999 as the Mirror Theatre Company’s Trust Business. Since then it has won multiple accreditation with the Ministry of Arts and Culture following performances of K. K. Bonteh’s The Empty Throne. It has a growing and solid reputation within the performing arts industry.
Whilst at the drama school, students are in classes according to their age and follow a timetable of drama / film, dance and singing. This timetable is put in place to ensure that students become all-round performers.
Bef School of Performing Arts & Cinematography
Our guiding ethos is to provide a safe, supportive environment for young people to explore the performing arts, whether they have dreams of entering the profession or simply wish to use the performing arts classes to learn some valuable life-enhancing skills. We have an incredible team of staff who encourage team work, self-expression, confidence, communication, discipline, respect and fun. Our teaching staff are all industry professionals and bring their dynamic and unique flair to the classes, giving the students an understanding of what working as a performer is like in ‘the real world’.
We welcome all students, whether they wish to enter the performing arts industry or not, and we are very proud of the achievements that many of our students have gained through the Bef Performance Possibility Program (Bef-PPP).
We consistently receive highly positive feedback from parents who have been delighted with the increased confidence and self-assurance of their children. There has also been acknowledgement from regular schools of the positive difference they have seen in children who have enhanced their academic studies since attending our school or participating in the school-based Bef Performance Possibility Program (Bef-PPP) due to an increased thirst for learning.
