StandUP Juniors Prepare for a Studio Spectacular

Excitement is building at StandUP Drama School as our talented Juniors class begin their journey towards their April performance of Ernie and His Incredible Illucinations. With rehearsals now in full swing, the studio is buzzing with creativity, imagination, and determination as our young performers work hard to bring this magical story to life.

This term, our Juniors have fully embraced the imaginative world of Ernie — a story filled with wonder, dreams, and larger-than-life illusions. From the very first script read-through, the students have shown incredible enthusiasm, diving into character work, voice projection, and expressive movement. Each session is carefully structured to support confidence, teamwork, and performance skills, ensuring every child feels valued and proud of their role.

Building Confidence Through Performance

At StandUP, we believe that performance is about much more than learning lines. Our Juniors are developing essential life skills including:

• Confidence on stage

• Teamwork and collaboration

• Creative expression

• Resilience and perseverance

• Communication and storytelling

Through drama games, rehearsal techniques, and character exploration, students are growing not only as performers but as confident young individuals.

Creating a Studio Spectacular

This production is set to be a true studio spectacular. Our students are currently working on:

• Character development and stage presence

• Blocking and movement in the studio space

• Vocal expression and storytelling

• Ensemble scenes and group performances

• Creative staging to bring illusions to life

The studio environment allows our Juniors to rehearse in a professional and supportive setting, helping them feel like real performers as they prepare for their big moment.

A Magical Journey for Our Young Performers

Ernie and His Incredible Illucinations is the perfect production for our Juniors, combining imagination, humour, and heartfelt moments. The storyline encourages children to think creatively and explore the power of storytelling, making it both an educational and inspiring experience.

We are incredibly proud of the dedication our students are showing each week. Their energy, focus, and willingness to challenge themselves is truly inspiring to watch.

Looking Ahead to April

With the performance scheduled for April, the countdown is officially on! Over the coming weeks, rehearsals will intensify as costumes, staging, and final performance elements begin to come together.
