Another Big Thank You!

CELEBRATED CLIENT OF THE MONTH!

COMMERCIAL ROAD TOWN CENTRE MANAGEMENT

Wow Manic Stage Productions cannot believe that the summer holidays are over and just how quickly September is flying by! We were very busy with all sorts of bookings, workshops and activities throughout the summer and would like to share one of these with all of our followers. 

For the 3rd year Manic were invited on behalf of Portsmouth City Council to provide FREE activities, 'Things For Kids To Do' during the school holidays in the heart of Portsmouth's busy Commercial Road. This month we would like to take this opportunity to give our client of the month celebration champagne to the Portsmouth Town Centre Management Team for their continued support, bookings and help over the last few years. 

Manic's team entertained hundreds of children this August and gave parents that much desired rest, even if it was for just 20 minutes or so. With days out costing a fortune and the weather never being very reliable these FREE activities meant parents could give their little ones some entertainment without too much effort!

Alongside the city council Manic Stage Productions created a number of different themed activities so that each day was a little different. 

From pirates to cheerleading, west end stars to fairytale and circus to pop stars there was never a dull moment. Manic provided a table of arts and crafts with all sorts of interesting designs for the children to make such as key rings, crowns, pirate hats and masks, clown faces, decorations and cards. 

In addition to the dance, arts and crafts we also had on hand a very creative artistic face painter who wowed the children with a variety of styles and designs. This year as a little extra we also had awesome, shimmering glitter tattoos that proved a huge hit with everyone young and old! 

With so much for the children to do every Monday and Wednesday throughout August these activities really did help keep the little ones entertained. 

We would again like to thank everyone involved from Portsmouth City Council and the Town Centre Management Team. We really look forward to hosting events with you again in the future and providing you with more creative activities and entertainment next summer!

For any enquiries regarding bespoke entertainment do not hesitate to contact Manic and our production team who would be happy to provide you with more info and a personal quote featuring our unique specialist professional team.

Another Fun Filled Half Term

READ WHAT MANIC GOT UP TO 

THIS HALF TERM! 

This February Manic again took over the Harlequin room at the Portsmouth Guildhall to run our ever successful children's half term dance days and workshops. 

Last week a whole host of children arrived ready to dance, sing, play games and create their very own arts and crafts with lots of new friends at 2 of our fun packed dance days.

Monday we hosted 'We Love Boybands'

With a room full of fans the children learnt and performed routines to their favourite chart topping heart throbs including One Direction, The Vamps, 5 Seconds Of Summer, JLS and many many more. 

We made some very colourful concert posters with brilliant drawings of our favourite artists to show our family friends when they arrived at the end for "showtime".

Along with beautiful singing and catwalks the performance was jam packed with all of the exciting activities that we had practised and perfected through out the day.

Our 1D cardboard cut outs proved a popular posing point for a quick photo opportunity with our fave boy band member, creating the perfect little keepsake picture and memory of the day. These weren't just for the children, some of the parents jumped in for a quick photo too ... 
Even Matt and Emma couldn't resist a quick snap with the famous faces!

Tuesday was a different theme altogether and with a group of new children to entertain we hosted 
'Magical Fairytale, Once Upon A Time'

This group of beautiful princesses learnt new magical moves ready to be added to our "showtime" dances at the end of the day. 

The children shared with us their favourite fairytales and wow what a variety we had to choose from! 

We encouraged the children to have a go at their own creative choreography, which featured in our catwalk finally and there individual spotlight moment. 
Showtime also showcased two different dance routines, sensational singing and amazing arts and crafts.

We were so busy on Tuesday, learning two routines and also squeezing in two different types of crafts. 

Our Fairytale posters had pictures of our fairytale lands, magical spells, prince and princess's and all sorts of beautiful decorations. 

Secondly we made beautiful magic wands to use as props during our catwalk at showtime. They shined and sparkled just as the children did over both days. 

With both groups making a whole bunch of new friends and all the children looking forward to the next school holiday. We are already planning more exciting events and themes for your little ones to enjoy this Easter

Look out on our facebook page 'Manic Stage Productions' and our website www.manicsp.co.uk for the first release of our Easter Holidays, May Half Term and Summer School activities. Manic Stage Productions cannot wait to see you all again for more holiday fun!! 

In the mean time we thank you for joining us this half term and hope you had as much fun as we did.

Look forward to seeing you all again soon!

‘I have been with Manic Stage Productions since June 2013, Manic has provided me with the opportunity to work in a professional environment aswell as to maintain my level of dancing inbetween other dance contracts abroad. 

The weekly professional classes help me to keep building upon my training, increase my flexibility, push myself to pick up routines quickly and remember any we have previously learnt.  Manic has such a wide variety of dances and shows to offer their clients you need to have a good memory to remember them all! 

I have taken part in Michael Jackson tribute shows, South Coast Fashion Week launch, The New Southsea Show, Charity events at the Kings Theatre, A Burlesque show at Grosvenor G Casino, Stilt Walking and Promotional work for Fontwell Race Course. Stilt Walking and a Showgirl Performance at the Spinnaker Tower and Mary Rose Museum. I regularly model for Bridal and Wedding shows and my favourite so far was a Halloween performance with the one and only Miss G!

Manic really is a great team to be part of, I look forward to class every Tuesday and thoroughly enjoy every performance opportunity I have had.

So come along and join the fun! 2014 is going to be a great year for the team and if you love to dance and get paid then this opportunity is NOT to be missed
