SUMMER IS COMING!

HAVE YOUR KIDS GOT TALENT?

It's that time of year again, summer is only around the corner and we have the perfect activity to keep your children entertained and excited with three whole days of activities, fun and a live performance!

After last years success of our 'Kids Got Talent' 3 day workshop we have decided to run the same summer school activity this year to give even more children a chance to take part in this amazing opportunity. 

Manic Stage Productions we will be hosting 'Kids Got Talent' from Wednesday 5th - Friday 7th August 2015.

The idea of 'Kids Got Talent' is to encourage all the children to bring along their own talent to the Portsmouth's Guildhall and to practise and perfect it over the three days with the added assistance of our talented team. The aim is to make their individual skill show time ready for the on stage performance on the final day!

The children will also learn a whole host of new skills throughout the workshop days including dancing, singing, acting, arts and crafts, and lots lots more. 

The children will make new friends and be working in groups with new people to expand their repertoire of skills as the days pass.

One of the main attractions of this workshop event is the amazing opportunity to perform on the actual stage. We are lucky enough that the Friday performance showcase will be on the Guildhall stage, with lighting, sound and costumes! The children will be putting on a "proper" show of which family and friends are invited to come and see on the final afternoon. 

With the chance for the children to showcase each of their own talents and group numbers as a whole cast, the jam packed show will feature all types of entertainment for the parents viewing pleasure. 

After last years brilliant workshop we can not wait to see this years turn out..... so start practising those talents and book your places now so not to miss out this summer!! 

The cost of the three day workshop is £75 per child.
Each day will run from 10am-3pm at PortsmouthGuildhall

Dates are Wednesday 5th - Friday 7th August 2015.

Book your places now through Paypal on our event page via our website www.manicsp.co.uk 

We look forward to seeing you all in the summer!

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!!

What A Sizzling Summer We Had!

A LOOK BACK AT A WONDERFUL SUMMER

After an amazing but very hectic and busy summer we thought we should stop and have a little look back at everything we got up to...

Although it now seems so long ago we started our busy summer at the beginning of August with the Southsea Show. 

Manic hosted and produced the Seaside Special show that took place in the big top tent. With a host of speciality acts, singers, dancers and performers it was a huge hit and the acts performed to a packed out tent full of happy spectators as they watched on and enjoyed the entertainment that was on offer. 

Before the glitz and glamour of the showgirls in the evening show we took to the stage that afternoon to entertain and bring some magic to the event with our Disney inspired children's show. With performances and songs from all your children's favourite sing-a-long films and soundtracks their faces lit up as princesses, animals and all sorts of characters appeared in the spot light to spread a magical feel throughout the big top. 

Lets not forget that also at the Southsea Show Manic hosted our very own 'Frozen' inspired tent which we named 'The Elsa and Anna Experience'. 

With ticketed workshops every hour on both the Saturday and Sunday crowds flocked to pack out our sold out event which gave the children an amazing opportunity to meet our look a like Elsa and Anna charatacters. Along with meeting the girls the children and their parents were able to take part in so many activities including singing and dancing with the characters, a sweetie pick and mix kingdom, Olaf arts and crafts and a very special green screen photobooth that transported you all the way to Arundel itself. 

We had so many happy customers and as they left with their gifts and wish balloons we couldn't have asked for a better turn out. 

The experience worked so well that we will be bringing it back around Christmas time so keep an eye out for more info about this on our website and facebook page. 

No summer or school holiday would be complete without our sort after dance days and workshops! Following on from the Southsea Show we entered into 2 weeks of Manic's Summer School. With more 'Frozen' and 'One Direction' days our excited children turned up each day at Portsmouth Guildhall excited and ready to go for a full day of fun, themed to their favourite stars, films, songs and characters. 

Brand new this year was the launch of our 3 day 'Kid's Got Talent' talent club.

We had a great response and the children that took part really proved how talented and clever they were. 

Over the three days the children learnt a variety of skills including singing, dancing and various drama skills. They then bought along their own talent to perform and we had a brilliant array that all featured in our big show on the final day. 

The talents included: Majorettes, Recorder, Tap Dancing, Duets, Girlband Singing, Modern Dance and Ballet Solo's and Cheerleading. 

Our final show took place on the actual Portsmouth Guildhall stage with a full audience of family and friends. Each child took to the stage with huge smiles, bags of confidence and a super star attitude! For some this was their very first time on stage. They put on an amazing show and we were so proud of what they had learnt and produced over just 3 days. We look forward to next years talent club and would love to know what talents your children may have?

COMING SOON

Schools are starting back this week and even though it is the start of term we have already booked in our half term exciting activities. We will of course due to popular demand be hosting another Frozen day which will be Wednesday 29th October and as an exclusive this year we have a days workshop of 'Michael Jackson's Thriller Halloween Spectacular' which will take place on Halloween Friday 31st October.

 All workshops will be at Portsmouth Guildhall. Keep an eye on our facebook page for the release date to book your places. As always there are only 30 places per day available and last time we sold out within 45 minutes of going live.
