Welcome To Seren Performing Arts

Igniting Your Child's Imagination

Seren Performing Arts aims to build confidence and help you to achieve your best self. We ensure that students feel happy in our very caring environment that promotes positivity and fun. Dream – believe – achieve.

Performing Arts School For Ages 4-18

Seren Performing Arts was formed in 2010 by Bridget who wanted students she taught to be given the opportunity to branch out into completing Acting qualifications with the London College of Music. Since then we have grown into two sections the Juniors – ages 4-11 and the Seniors 11-18. We offer sessions in Singing, Acting and Movement and everyone’s favourite activity is Improvisation. All pupils get the chance to work on this in small groups and perform to the group each week.

Exams

In Seren all pupils get the opportunity if they wish to complete formal exams. these exams are with the London College of Music (LCM) and students have the opportunity to sit individual and/or group exams. The Seniors complete their exams in the Autumn term whilst the Juniors and group exams take place in the Spring term. All pupils undertaking individual exams get 1-1 session weekly during the term of exam and all students have support with any written work that needs to be completed.

Performances

So what performances do we undertake? in the Autumn and Spring term we prepare for a show case this involves whole school performances as well as performances by the Junior and Senior sections. The Seniors also break out into smaller ensembles to perform duets, trios etc. They are allowed to choose their own pieces and this term sees us perform The Wonderful Wizard of Oz – a play with music. In the Summer term we also perform a show at the Stepni Studio in the Ffwrnes Theatre in Llanelli. Our production for 2025 is Matilda Jnr courtesy of MTI Europe and will be performed from Tuesday 25th June – Saturday 29th June.

Professional Performances

All students are given the opportunity to take part in our termly performances and annual show. Performing is for everyone!

Exceptional Training & Rehearsals

All students are given time, attention and encouragement each week to be the best that they can be. Where needed they are given 1-1 sessions and we ensure that all our students are well prepared for all performances that they undertake.
Preperation is key!

Working With Ages 4-18

Having the wide age range gives the opportunity for all our students to work with each other, encourage each other and have fun in the activities we undertake each week.

Working On Stage

Each term we prepare our students to go on stage, we help them with stage technique and understanding what is required of them when working in a bigger space. The improvisation sessions where they perform and also appraise each other’s work supports their understanding of being on stage. We teach them about understanding the space they work in and projecting their voice. Everything is taught in a positive manner to further support building their self confidence.

    Mum of Lili (seniors) and Anni (juniors)

    As a parent of two daughters, aged 16 and 8, who are part of Seren, I cannot express enough how thrilled I am with the experience this incredible group has provided for them. Watching them grow both as performers and as individuals has been one of the most rewarding experiences as a parent. My 16-year-old daughter has truly blossomed under the guidance and mentorship of Seren’s dedicated team. For my 8-year-old, Seren has been an absolute joy! She lights up when she talks about her rehearsals and performances. It’s lovely to see her building friendships, finding her voice, and having so much fun while learning the foundations of theatre. What sets Seren apart is not only the high standard of their productions but also the supportive community they’ve built. It’s clear that every child, regardless of age or experience, is valued and encouraged to shine. The directors and staff go above and beyond to foster a positive and inclusive atmosphere where each child feels seen, heard, and important.

      Mum of Olivia (Junior)

      "I would highly recommend Seren to anybody. My daughter absolutely loves every minute of it. It has taught her confidence and skills that she will use now and later in life. Bridget is wonderful with the children and Seren is a credit to her and her hard work. The children who attend are a lovely group of children and the Seniors are fantastic in helping with them. It is so lovely to see all those happy faces every week upon pickup."

        "Thank you for helping me grow in confidence, before I was just shy but now I'm confident in anything."

          Lowri

          Senior/Mentor

          "Seren has been an amazing confidence booster for me and has helped me with more than just my acting and singing skills. It is a warm and welcoming environment where we all help each other grow."

            Rebecca

            Mum of Erin (Senior) and Isla (Junior)

            "I couldn't ask for a better experience for my girls every Saturday. They get to fully immerse themselves in all things drama, singing and dancing while having opportunities to perform onstage as well as achieve musical theatre and acting qualifications. They love their time at Seren and are always full supported by Bridget and her wonderful team."

              Martin

              Dad of Maddie & Robyn (Juniors)

              "When Maddie first joined Seren at 4 years old, she was bitterly shy. She spent many weeks attending with very little enthusiasm and unwillingness to participate. We persisted in taking her knowing that the encouragement from Bridget and her team would be a defining factor in her development. It is one of the best things we've ever done and Maddie is now bouncing each week in excitement. Our other daughter has recently started and we've seen the same shyness pattern but we're confident the Seren team will once again work their magic. Thank you!"

                Mum of Ryan (Senior)

                "We love Seren! It is so good to have somewhere that is totally accepting that Ryan can be part of, it's just like an extended family.".

                  Iolo

                  Junior

                  "It's really fun, the best thing you get to do is sing in front of loads of people. I'd never give up Seren for anything, it's the best thing ever."

                    Bev

                    Mum of Lowri (Senior)

                    "My daughter has been a member of Seren from a very young age and it has been wonderful to watch her develop into such a confident performer over the years. She cherishes the time she spends with the Seren family and has lots of fun while learning skills in a warm, caring environment. It was a great decision to join!"

                      "What I like about Seren is improvisation, dancing and making new friends."

                        Junior

                        I like going to Seren because it's nice and fun. I like singing, acting and making new friends and I like Bridget and Holly and everyone else who goes there. I like performing with the seniors."
