Moreton Halls's Face2Face Performance Academy, a renowned performing arts training provider in Oswestry, dedicated to nurturing artistic talent and fostering creativity, is thrilled to announce that it will be opening its doors to new students this September. Aspiring performers are invited to join the academy's vibrant community and get involved in the many opportunities available.

Now in its seventh year, Face2Face has become known for its ability to unlock the full potential of its pupils, with many pupils gaining places at prestigious Drama schools and gaining professional performance opportunities.

Creative Director of The Holroyd Community Theatre, Michael Jenkins, said: “We are thrilled to be opening our doors, and welcoming more pupils into the academy. In January, we will have been open for seven years and I think it is a testament to the quality of our coaching and the unique opportunities that we still have some of our original members in the academy.

“What sets us apart from other academies, is that our faculty is made up of industry professionals, all of which have experienced the performing arts field at the highest levels. This gives our pupils a true insight into the industry and raises their aspirations. In addition to the quality coaching, we also provide outstanding opportunities, which are truly memorable.”

The academy’s weekly sessions are designed to cater to various artistic interests. From acting and dancing to singing and more recently film-making, the academy provides a diverse curriculum that emphasises skill development, personal growth, and collaborative learning.

Speaking about the academy, longstanding pupil, Lecsi (14) said: “I would recommend Face2Face to anyone interested in performing arts. Before starting I attended other academies, it was clear from my first term at Face2Face that there is nowhere quite like it. Through the academy, we have access to the best opportunities, from meeting and working with West End stars, to performing live on stage in plays and musicals, and most recently, filming in really cool locations.

“If you’re nervous about joining, don’t be! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, you won’t want to leave.”

The Autumn term will begin on Wednesday 13th of September, 5.30pm - 8.00pm. If you are aged 9 to 18, and have an interest in performing arts, find out more about how to sign up by visiting www.theholroyd.com/face2face
