What better way to look ahead to a brand-new year than with a reminder of where the last one took us… 🏆✨

We are still smiling at this moment from earlier this year, when our students took home the FIRST EVER Move It Championship! MOVE IT Show 🥹🔥

And now we’re getting ready to welcome our amazing new students and our returning 2nd Years for another huge year of training, creating and performing. 🎭🎶💃

We’ve been putting the final touches to a year packed with even more opportunities, industry workshops, trips, performances, guest practitioners, industry experts, shows, projects and experiences designed to prepare our students for life in the performing arts industry.

And yes… multiple performances at Move It 2027 are already part of the plan! 👀🔥

Here’s to another exciting year. We absolutely cannot wait! ❤️✨

Last week’s sold out run of CARRIE was pure fire🔥

Our 2nd Year MT students took on this bold, mature piece with such professionalism, commitment, and undeniable growth throughout the entire process. The hard work, resilience, and passion they’ve shown just demonstrates everything they have learnt over their time at ESC and this is only the beginning.

As they prepare to head off to some of the UK’s top drama schools, we couldn’t be prouder of everything they’ve achieved 🎭✨

Missed Carrie? Don’t worry - you can still catch them one last time at their Graduation Show at the Eastbourne Hippodrome on 16th June.
