John Giller's Vision . . .

Picture
My Vision and that of JGDATA is to offer a safe, challenging, fun and empowering academy of excellence that provides every student with the opportunity to be part of a theatrical production.  My aim is to make a positive difference to people’s lives by supporting their participation in, and access to high quality teaching and learning and I believe my students should be able to develop their full potential through a wide range of quality theatrical experiences.
Using an encouraging and supportive syllabus that is both creative and inspirational, my students will have the opportunity to express themselves, develop a passion and make the most of their talent no matter their age or ability.  My youngest students will be supported into adulthood using theatre techniques to make a positive contribution to their personal development; building confidence, enhancing life skills and improving their chances of achieving economic wellbeing, while working to raise their aspirations.   All students within the academy, regardless of age, are encouraged to continue their involvement within the arts and to work collaboratively with others to build a successful, supportive, fun and friendly academy community.

Our Philosophy...

We present and embody the diversity of all students taking part through a range of genres, art forms, cultures and approaches to acting, singing and theatre studies.
We value everyone attending the academy as an individual, and work hard to promote the personal, social and creative voice of our students, together with the educational development of our younger members.
The power to challenge, influence, enlighten and change our lives and those around us is important and our students will be given opportunities to take risks in a safe and supportive environment through high quality, challenging, fun, and meaningful drama sessions.
We believe that performing arts is a universal expression of human kind and involvement within it benefits all of our students, especially our young members who are given the opportunity to find their place and voice in society.
