✨ SOMETHING VERY EXCITING IS COMING TO STRAIGHT UP… ✨
We are SO excited to welcome Kim Thursfield to Straight Up for an exclusive 6-week programme, working with our Saturday Theatre students to build their confidence, develop their performance skills and get them AUDITION READY! 🎭🎤🌟

Over the six weeks, Kim will be bringing all of that experience into the room with our students — helping them understand what makes a performer stand out, how to approach auditions with confidence and how to show their individuality rather than simply trying to be “perfect”.
Because being audition-ready isn’t just about being able to sing, act or dance.
It’s about walking into a room and being confident enough to BE SEEN. 🌟
We cannot wait for our students to have this opportunity.
6 WEEKS. REAL INDUSTRY KNOWLEDGE. AUDITION READY. 🔥
Let’s go, Straight Up. 💛
