Since opening its doors, Uplift has seen a great deal of interest from the local community towards the arts. Every week the talented students come to participate in three specific classes. These include Dance, Voice and Stagecraft.

Uplift’s objective is to help the youth of the community, by filling a niche in the market, with Performing Arts,

Uplift strives to be a cornerstone for the local community.

The purpose of Uplift Performing Arts is to encourage each student to pursue their dreams, increase self-confidence and self-esteem, and to explore their artistic talents through a creative outlet in a positive learning environment.

A spokesperson explained: “The team at Uplift are proud to fulfil the organisations aims and objectives by encouraging each student to pursue their dreams, inspiring them to explore their artistic talents through a creative outlet in a positive learning environment.

“Every year we aim to produce several shows with our students. These range from variety shows, social performances and fundraising concerts for charities.

“During the summer we also construct a week long summer project with young people of all ages. This is a week of specific classes and workshops that lead to a show within a week. We also produce an annual Christmas Show which is always a wonderful production for our students to be involved in.
