Go, go, go Jo! 🌈💜
Wow, what a night we had at the on Saturday!

Our Esprit students were invited to be the Dreamcoats Choir for the Swindon performance of Dreamcoat Stars, the professional UK touring concert produced by MK Entertainment Ltd, and they were absolutely amazing.

They took the whole experience in their stride. Rehearsing with the professional cast and team, learning how everything works backstage and then stepping out onto that stage and giving it everything. They were focused, confident and so professional, and we couldn’t have been prouder watching them.

We feel incredibly lucky to be able to give our students opportunities like this, but even prouder that professional productions trust our young performers to come in, work hard and be part of the team. That means a lot to us.

A massive thank you to the whole Dreamcoat Stars team for inviting us to be part of such a brilliant show, and well done to every single one of our Esprit kids. What a night! 💜🌈

A little behind-the-scenes look at our Frozen JR tech rehearsals ❄️🎭

Tech is such a huge part of putting on a show like this, and there is so much happening that the audience never really gets to see.
This video captures some of that process: giving notes and direction, working through microphone teching, adjusting dance blocking for the stage, rehearsing quick changes, practising special effects and making sure everyone knows exactly where they need to be and when.

It’s also the point where we finally start seeing all the different parts of the production come together in the theatre.

The children worked incredibly hard throughout the whole process, taking on notes, adapting quickly and learning just how much teamwork goes into making a big production happen.

A massive thank you to Galina for filming and putting this together. It’s such a lovely glimpse into everything that happens behind the scenes, and such a special memory for us all to have and look back on!

❄️ Frozen JR. What a weekend. 💜

We're not quite sure where to begin.

After months of rehearsals, learning lines, practising songs, costume changes, puppetry workshops and lots of excitement, Frozen JR is over... and we couldn't be prouder of every single one of our students.

Of course we're proud of what everyone achieved on stage, but some of our favourite moments happened behind the scenes.
The older children helping the younger ones, the encouraging words before going on stage, the friendships that have grown and the confidence we've seen blossom over the last few months.

We've had so many lovely comments, not just about the performances themselves, but about how kind, supportive and brilliant our students were backstage too, which means the world to us.

A huge thank you to all of our children, parents, helpers, chaperones and staff. Shows like this really do take a village and we are so grateful to everyone who played a part.

We'll be sharing lots more soon, but for now we're just taking a moment to soak it all in and appreciate what an amazing weekend it was.

Now it's time to celebrate everything we've achieved and start looking ahead to the next adventure…💖

Olaf’s media career has officially begun ⛄️

We went to visit BBC Radio Wiltshire today… and obviously, Olaf very quickly stole the spotlight ⭐️

Thank you so much to Graham and the team for having us. We had such a lovely time chatting all things Frozen JR, Esprit and our brilliant students bringing the world of Frozen to life.

A little bit of exciting Esprit news… ❄️

Our Principal, Georgie Ashford, will be on BBC Radio Wiltshire tomorrow at 3:20pm, chatting about our upcoming production of Frozen JR and the amazing work our students have been putting into rehearsals.

We’re so proud of them, and it’s lovely to have the chance to share a little bit about the show and what makes this production so special.

Have a listen tomorrow if you can 💙
