HAF Conditions

A few T&Cs from Brighton & Hove City Council:
• Eligibility criteria – Brighton & Hove HAF-funded places are for children and young people in reception to year 11 who receive benefits-related free school meals.
• Limits on bookings – Over Summer, EEQU will permit each eligible participant to be booked on to 16 HAF places across all providers in the city. If a session is not attended, HAF places cannot be added back onto an individual’s allocation, regardless of reason. It is therefore important that sessions are cancelled before the activity starts, and ideally, giving a minimum of a few days’ notice where possible to allow other children to benefit. Bookings can be managed by the Booker by logging into EEQU and reviewing their Schedule.

Drama and Dance Club Sussex

Fun and Friendly Holiday Clubs for Kids

Drama and Dance Club Sussex

DRAMA & DANCE HOLIDAY CLUB FOR KIDS. NEW NAME - SAME GREAT TEAM. Hello! Our team have been running performing arts holiday clubs since 2018 in Brighton, Hove and Worthing. Our friendly + inclusive clubs are run by experienced and fully trained professionals with a wealth of experience in theatre, film making and teaching young people. We’ve been approved providers since 2020 with Brighton, Hove and West Sussex local authorities delivering the Holiday Activity and Food programme.

Learning aims

Aim 1

Story scripting and ideas generation. Our strong focus on young people's ideas being articulated and communicated through film helps students to develop a clear, compelling voice and good listening skills. Immensely useful stuff, whether they’re expressing themselves on screen or in life.

Aim 2

Drama and screen performance. We stimulate creativity through structured dialogue, characterisation, director's briefs, and acting out original scripts as an ensemble. This practice goes beyond screen skills, helping young people to articulate their ideas, socialise and overcome shyness in groups.

Aim 3

Film production and crew. Being involved in every aspect of film making, thrusts the student into an immersive approach to preproduction, shooting and post production. It promotes ownership, resilience and physical endurance. As well as improving their cooperation, students learn to feel good about their contribution to the group, expand their knowledge of job roles in the industry and hold their own in a social and creative space.

Aim 4

Screening / presenting their work. One of the greatest life skills we can teach our kids is to communicate confidently. This is why working in the creative space is such a valuable tool in preparing them to be all they can be in the world.
