Start Your future!

BRICTT Academy is where your journey in performing arts starts! BA is unique in that we are the only academy in Brighton that offers a clear pathway in creative arts training from aged 8 and beyond.

Our academy is the little sister to BRICTT (Brighton’s cutting edge drama school) and is run and taught by the very same industry professionals who are involved in BRICTT’s Extended Diploma for 16-18 year olds and the BA (Hons) Performing Arts.

We understand that creative arts training can give young people more than an ability to act, dance and sing (although that is fun), this is a program to encourage confidence, team building and mental resilience through performing arts. These skills are crucial in today’s world and will set our next generation up on a positive path for their future.

TIME TO GET CREATIVE!

Each Saturday at BRICTT Academy we inspire young people to learn the practical skills that a performer would use every day. Led by industry professionals, the school is split into 4 age groups. Each group rotates through 4 disciplines:

Acting

Using physical theatre exercises to explore and create, our BRICTTonians learn techniques to help them develop a strong sense of their physical self. Combining games and regimented exercises, the students develop core skills to aid their stamina, discipline, and imagination whilst giving them a foundation in acting for stage and acting for camera.

Musical Theatre

In this class BRICTTonians work with scripts and learn small sections of scenes into a song from a well know musical. Learning stage craft, following direction and working as a team.

Dance

Classes begin with a physical warm up. Floor work is used to strengthen and for flexibility. New routines are taught every few weeks focusing on a commercial and contemporary style of dance.

Vocals

Classes begin with a vocal warm up to strengthen and extend vocal range and technique. This class works on contemporary pop and jazz songs and our BRICTTonians learn to sing with a microphone and practice harmony work.
