The Pauline Quirke Academy - Creating Thrills & Skills for Life
The Pauline Quirke Academy is a weekend performing arts school for 4-18 year olds - and due to popular demand PQA Harlow is opening a new afternoon Academy on Sunday 2nd October.
Students spend three hours with us, rotating through hour long sessions in Comedy & Drama, Musical Theatre and Film & Television. Our specialist modules, packed full of tips that Pauline has learnt from nearly 50 years in the business, will teach you everything you need to know to act, sing, dance or direct like a professional. By working with people we believe are outstanding in their field, we aim to provide our students with a constantly evolving experience- something that is fresh, exciting and bang up-to-date.
PQA believe in rewarding and inspiring their students, so along with regular reports to monitor their progress, all students are offered group exams through Trinity College London - at no additional charge to parents. Students also get the chance to see their short film projects on the big screen of their local cinema, where they get to walk down the red-carpet just like the Hollywood stars, and have the opportunity to take part in one of the annual PQA shows in the West End.
For those students who want the chance to work professionally there is the opportunity to join Quirky Kidz Creative Management (QK) – an agency that exclusively represents PQA students. QK clients have won parts in many high profile projects including Charlie & The Chocolate Factory (West End); Peaky Blinders (BBC); EastEnders (BBC); and the smash-hit feature film Les Miserables.
PQA Harlow is holding a free open day on Sunday 2nd October from 4.15- 7.30pm at Harlow Playhouse, Playhouse Square, Harlow, Essex, CM20 1LS.
PQA is also enrolling now in Brentwood, Southend on Sea and Wickford. For more information please visit www.pqacademy.com or call 0800 531 6282.
