Performing Arts

Welcome to the University of Gloucestershire's Performing Arts Society! We consider ourselves a friendly, fun society, open to everyone regardless of whatever course you take! We are run by a collection of Performing Arts students (who study Performing Arts and Drama and Performance Practice). We are open to all students that wish to join our society, all that we ask is that you give it your all, whether you are a seasoned performer or enjoy performance as a hobby or are completely new to it and just want to try something new, we really do offer something for everyone!

A bit about our Society!

• We plan on holding many performances throughout the year, in order to give everyone a taste of a live performance. This will be something we can work on together and create as a group to make it as versatile and intriguing as we can. This year we have some really exciting plans and they won't be possible to execute without our brilliant members!
• We will be running weekly workshops focusing on various aspects of Performing Arts whether that's Acting, Dancing, or Singing. These will be led by our wonderful committee. This will help you as a member (and us as a committee) expand on skills and talents, as well as, meet people with similar interests and hobbies! You only need to go as far as you are comfortable with, and if you wish to be pushed out of your comfort zone, we will do that for you, but that is ALL DOWN TO YOU and all that we ask is that you try your best!
• Our weekly socials! Whether you drink or not, you will always be welcome at our Social Nights. The committee is made up of both drinkers and non-drinkers, so there is no pressure for you to drink to be at the Socials. This is important to us as we don't want any of our members feeling like they are going to be judged on whether they drink or don't drink. Social Nights are a great way for you to dress up in a daft outfit and hang out with friends, as well as offering you the chance to make new ones, outside of your course and year group. 
• We, as a committee, are extremely dedicated to making sure EVERYONE in our Society, regardless of whether they are committee or member, enjoys their time with us, and we will do everything in our power to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe and has fun with each other. We have decided as a committee that we have a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination, harassment, or bullying to any degree. We are dedicated to both teaching and socializing in a community that is accepting of all, regardless of Age, Disability, Race, Religion, Belief, Gender, Sexual Orientation, or any other aspects of your life.

So what now? Well, it's simple! Sign up! We'd love to have you, so please, if you want to perform, learn, or just socialize with like-minded people... THIS IS THE SOCIETY FOR YOU!
