Music & Performance

Welcome to Performing Arts

Our Give It A Go Class will be on the 1st October!!! (Please see the event page for more details) 

*At the University of Leeds, most societies have a Give It A Go session (or GIAG) which allow you to try out the society without having to buy a membership. Our GIAG is completely free and beginner friendly just like our classes - it's a great way to meet our committee, returning members and see what we are all about!

So who are we?

Well, we are the "Riley Award-nominated" Performing Arts Society, the University of Leeds' only non-audition, all-inclusive musical theatre performance society which offers a range of weekly singing, dancing and acting classes in a fun and friendly environment. Throughout the year, we develop our performance skills in classes led by experienced students, all working towards our annual showcase at the end of the year! We welcome all levels of experience and invite anyone who has an interest, a curiosity and/or a love for musical theatre to come and give us a go!!

See our Instagram for a sneak peak of what you could get up to this year and what we got up to last year!! Our teaser video will be dropping soon so keep an eye out :)

Our Schedule

Our classes are as follows:

Tuesday: Sky Studio - Dance Class

Friday: Room 5 - Alternating Singing and Acting Classes in Semester 1

Our committee consists of both experienced and less-experienced musical theatre performers who help to lead our weekly classes. In addition, we have a specific singing teacher - a music student - who runs the singing lessons. We also love collaborating with other societies!

At the end of the academic year, in May, we hold an annual showcase, where we give our members an opportunity to perform on stage, showcasing what we've been working on throughout the year. In this show we do a mixture of group performances and solo performances. Our showcase is unique because it provides the opportunity for members to perform any musical theatre number they like! There is no audition process and you will get the full support of our teaching team, committee and fellow members!!!

Membership

Our 24/25 membership cost is yet to be confirmed, however the money we gain from memberships goes towards providing the best experience we can for you, including paying our teaching staff, subsidizing socials and, of course, our showcase!!

We really want everyone to be able to join and so if the membership is not financially accessible for you, then please speak to the committee as we are more than happy to help!

Socials

We have a great variety of bi-monthly socials, from cosy movie nights in to fun nights out, but we will make sure we have both drinking and non-drinking events so that everyone feels welcome. Some examples from last year are…..

  • Musical-themed cocktail and mocktail night
  • Laser tag
  • Karaoke night 

We will always be open to any feedback and suggestions you may have.
