Light UP North Worcestershire
meet the team
Hi, I’m Cassie and I run Light UP North Worcestershire.
I’ve taught in secondary performing arts education for 20 years and am now looking forward to using my extensive skills and experience in a new adventure with Light UP. Light UP will allow me to focus on the inspirational parts of teaching; improving children’s confidence, encouraging creativity and supporting young people who want to pursue the performing arts.
I have performed since I was 7 years old and went on to study a BA (Hons) in Dance and Theatre Arts and then a PGCE in Secondary Education. Drama taught me discipline, focus and most importantly to believe in myself and I want to inspire all my students to believe in themselves too.
Light UP has been running since 2014, with the North Worcestershire branch opening in December 2019. We are a not for profit organisation who invest in our students, not our pockets.
If you’d like to know more, I would love to hear from you, cassie@lightupdrama.org.uk.
I look forward to welcoming you to our classes soon.
Classes
Light UP Class
Our one hour lessons are designed to boost confidence, encourage play and imagination and to increase young people's self-esteem through participating in a varied and exciting drama class programme. Children learn new skills, make new friends and learn about teamwork through games, activities and script work in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere.
Our Company classes are for committed 7-16 year olds who want to learn more about acting through inventive and challenging performance opportunities. These groups regularly perform a range of types of plays and musicals in theatres and unexpected places, learning performing skills ‘on the job’.
