Summer at Bravo! 💙🎭

Hi everyone! We just wanted to pop on with a little summer update ☀️

Although our regular weekly classes are taking a break over the school holidays, we've still been keeping busy with our holiday workshops!✨

It's been lovely seeing so many familiar faces and lots of new faces too!

We are fully booked on our drama workshop tomorrow (6th) & Thursday 20th but still have a few spaces on the 13th & 27th August!

It won't be long before we're back to our normal classes in September, and we're really looking forward to welcoming everyone back!

If you've been thinking about joining Bravo, September is the perfect time. We always offer a FREE taster session, so your child can come along, join in and see if they enjoy it before committing.

Whether your child loves being on stage or is a little shy and just needs a confidence boost, everyone is welcome. 🩵

If you'd like to find out more or book a free taster, just send us a message. We'd love to hear from you!

Enjoy the rest of the summer holidays, and we'll see you all very soon! ☀️🎬🎭

🍅 FREE TOMATO PLANTS 🍅

If anyone wants a free tomato plant (or two, or three!) then I have an abundance.

I have sown far too many and I can't keep them all 😅
Feel free to come and pick some up. They are just at the bottom of my front path near Western Way Ryton.

Message me if you need an address to find them 😊

What a FANTASTIC day we’ve had at our SOLD OUT Half Term Drama Holiday Club today! 🎭✨

It’s an absolute joy to work with such a wonderful group of children who are supportive, enthusiastic, and so kind to one another 💙

We’re sure there will be some very tired children this evening… and definitely one very tired drama facilitator too! 😂

We hope everyone is having a brilliant half term so far!

Keep your eyes peeled for our Summer Drama Workshop dates, which will be announced very soon 👀☀️

Our summer workshops always fill up quickly, so be sure to book early to avoid missing out!

💭 Let's talk about Dyslexia 💭

Recently, I was speaking to one of our students about school, and she shared that she’d been struggling because of her dyslexia and felt like she just wasn’t good enough. 💔

Hearing that really stayed with me, because as someone with dyslexia myself, I remember feeling exactly the same way growing up.

School often felt difficult, and I spent years believing I wasn’t as capable as everyone else academically and that there was something wrong with me, or maybe I was just lazy and unmotivated because I couldn't make sense of what everyone else seemed to find so easy.

It wasn't until after I left school that I was eventually diagnosed with Dyslexia.. and it was a drama teacher who recognised the signs right away! 🎭

I remember my drama class being a place where creativity mattered, imagination was celebrated, and I could finally build confidence in myself outside of the classroom environment 🤯

It helped me find my voice, express myself freely, and realise that being different didn’t make me less capable.

That’s one of the reasons why performing arts can be so powerful for children with dyslexia!

Drama helps to build:
✨ Confidence and self-esteem
✨ Communication and social skills
✨ Creativity and imagination
✨ Memory and listening skills
✨ A sense of belonging and achievement

At Bravo Performance, we’re passionate about creating a safe, supportive environment where every child can flourish in their own way.

Sometimes all a young person needs is a space where they feel seen, encouraged, and reminded that they are more than enough. 💙

Bravo Performance - Building confidence and expanding imagination through drama and performance 🎭✨

✨ Meet Our Team ✨

Hi, I’m Colette.. Though most of you know me as CC! 💙

I work alongside Carolyn at Bravo Performance in Ryton and Hexham 🎭

I joined Bravo at the end of 2020, at a time when the world was reopening and we all needed connection, creativity, and fun more than ever.

Before Bravo, I worked professionally as an actor and storyteller for 7 years after gaining my BA (Hons) in Acting. I trained at Project A, performed locally, and toured productions across the UK.

Alongside my Saturdays at Bravo, I now work full-time at Newcastle Theatre Royal, where I help nurture and develop young talent across our region.

I work as a Mentor Director on partnership projects with the RSC Associate Schools Programme, facilitate youth theatre work, and help develop our involvement with the National Theatre Connections Festival each year, bringing hundreds of young people together to perform on our main stage.

I’m incredibly passionate about championing children, young people, and their creative talents. As someone who is neurodivergent myself (ADHD), I’m especially proud that Bravo is a space where every child is celebrated, supported, and encouraged to be themselves. Our differences are what make us great ✨

Sometimes drama isn’t just about acting or wanting to be a performer (although we absolutely love it if you do!). It’s about finding something you enjoy, discovering what you’re good at, building confidence, making friendships, and finding your people in a safe and supportive space.

One of my favourite things is watching our Bravo performers grow in confidence and shine ✨✨✨
