"The course was brilliant. We felt enthused, stimulated and inspired. You helped us develop a detailed set of activities which really can be applied." Jo Clifton, after a teacher's workshop at Allen's Croft Primary School

"...A BIG THANK YOU TO BOTH OF YOU FROM EVERYONE who attended the self esteem day. I heard the children had a blast and have come away feeling much more positive! I also had an email from Cockshut Hill today and It appears you reached all our desired outcomes...the children's own feedback describes how they feel so much more confident and motivated. No better endorsement could be found than the child's." Helen Kelly, Gateway Cluster

"The children all gained so much from the whole project, and will never forget this experience!" Helen Nock, Netherbrook Primary School

"I just wanted to pop you a note to say a huge thank you for the workshop on Saturday. It wasn't always going to be challenging, but it was great and I have received this feedback today: Dear Sally, I accompanied my daughter Aimee to the Summer Musicals Workshop with Sideways Theatre on Saturday morning. She had a fantastic time, it really was a very good experience for her and we would jump at the opportunity to do it again. Please keep us posted!! Thank you very much. Beverley Bache.

I overheard LOTS of compliments from all of the groups at the end of the workshop. I think that you made lots of people very happy on Saturday (I have never, and don't think I WILL EVER SEE a reaction to 'We Will Rock You' like that ever again in my life!)."
Sally Pennington, Birmingham hippodrome

"Our three children...thoroughly enjoyed the experiences, learning a lot about drama, theatre and themselves! All three grew noticeably more confident in group and performance situations. Our one daughter in particular went from a willing, yet silent, performer in the first course to a confident speaker in the second. Our other daughter, normally quite self conscious in public, attacked both performances with gusto, being able to take on a new persona to express herself. Our son, a very imaginative boy, was able to explore this in a real and meaningful way, instilling this energy with a purpose and audience. We would enthusiastically endorse these sessions to other parents and children. Increased levels of self-confidence, improved social skills, greater communicative skills and developing imagination have all led to greater life skills for the children and therefore greater life chances." Mr Pratt, father of Sean, Georgia, and Phoebe who all attended a Saturday drama academy

"The girls in your group were very happy and thoroughly enjoyed the sessions. They have shared their experiences they said you were 'exciting and energetic'! I do look forward to hearing about other projects you may be offering." Sarah Delaney Head of Drama, Cheltenham Ladies College
