Performing Arts

We are the Performing Arts Society at Leeds University Union, created to ensure that anyone wishing to learn how to dance, sing and act can do so, in a casual and fun environment can do so.

We pride ourselves on being the only non-auditioning, all-inclusive society which offers a range of weekly workshops where we will learn all sorts of stage skills and will work towards our annual showcase with classes from teachers and professionals from the industry.

Obviously we know these are uncertain times but our classes will be going ahead whether in person or online.

About Us

Our classes are as follows:
Tuesdays: 8.00-9.30pm Michael Sadler LG10 (singing and drama) TBC
Saturdays: 6.00-7.30 Sky and Scarlet Studio in the Union (dance) TBC

The committee will teach some of the sessions, but we also have an external singing teacher and plan on holding specialised workshops to improve technique.

We hold a showcase every May where we give our members an opportunity to perform and showcase their skills that they have been working on throughout the year. These are either big group numbers, small group numbers, or solo performances.

Membership

Our membership will be available to buy from the end of September onwards by clicking on the ‘BUY MEMBERSHIP’ button at the top right-hand side corner of this page.

The cost of membership is currently at £20 for two terms or £10 for 1st Semester and £15 for 2nd Semester which must be purchased prior to attending any classes.

Our GIAG does not require membership and a small contribution of £1 will be collected on the door but membership will be compulsory after 12th October. Additional costs may be required throughout the year for example, when we get costumes for the showcase. Please note that refunds will not be possible at this stage.

Give it a go

Not sure about joining? Come along to our official Give It A Go session (date tbc).

It will give you a good insight into what we do and you will be able to meet the committee. If you can only attend one of these dates then don’t worry!

Also, if you miss both you are welcome to attend any class before 12th October without membership, or just drop us a message.

Socials

We plan to have a great variety of weekly socials, from trips to see musicals to nights out, but we will make sure we have both drinking and non-drinking events so that everyone feels welcome. We will always be open to feedback and suggestions.
