Classes.

57 Varieties, or 57s for short, is our creative drama, music and art collective for students with higher support needs. Here, you can explore your creativity, express yourself and discover new ways to communicate, connect and have fun through person-centred, multisensory sessions. Our accessible, thematic approach gives you the opportunity to explore the performing arts while developing valuable skills for everyday life. Throughout the week, you can get involved in drama, music and art while building your confidence, independence, communication and social skills.

Develop your rhythm, musicality and confidence through our varied Dance sessions! You’ll have the opportunity to explore different performance styles, work as part of a team and build the skills needed to feel comfortable on stage. As your confidence grows, you may also have the chance to take part in professional performance opportunities, giving you valuable experience of performing for a real audience and seeing your hard work come to life.

Move your body, engage your mind and have fun whilst doing it! Explore a range of classes designed to support both physical and mental wellbeing, from movement and dance to activities that encourage relaxation, focus and creativity. Whether you’re looking to stay active, build confidence, manage stress or simply take some time for yourself, these sessions offer a welcoming space to try something new, connect with others and feel good in both body and mind.

Fancy getting the party started by learning DJ skills? Get hands-on with mixing, beatmatching and creating your own sets while building confidence behind the decks. Or perhaps you’d rather discover the joy of singing in a Choir? Come together with others, learn new songs, develop your vocal skills and experience the fun of making music as a group.

From musicals and comedy to devising your own original plays, there are plenty of ways to get creative with our Theatre and Film classes. Whether you’re excited to perform in front of an audience, enjoy working behind the scenes, or simply want to explore your creativity, there’s something for everyone.
