JIGSAW PERFORMING ARTS BROXBOURNE OWNER ANSWERS SOME FAQ’S!

Rachel, owner and manager of Jigsaw Performing Arts Broxbourne answers some of your frequently asked questions about the Little Ones Classes at Jigsaw Arts.

As the Manager and Franchisee of three Jigsaw Schools, it goes without saying that I wholeheartedly believe in the benefits of performing arts classes, and how it can aid student growth and development at all ages. Throughout my 10 years at Jigsaw I have been lucky enough to have experienced teaching all age groups across all 3 disciplines.

However, my journey with Jigsaw Arts originally began working as a Performing Arts Class Assistant at Jigsaw Ealing, with the Little Ones (3-4 and 5-6 years). It was then that I realised how much of an impact the performing arts can have on students who are in such a key developmental stage of their learning.

 

 

From here, I have gone on to teach many Jigsaw Little Ones classes over the years and I am now privileged to be able to run the termly training for all new cohorts of Jigsaw Little Ones Performing Arts teachers, joining us across the network.

Below, I will use my knowledge to answer some of the key questions that I often get asked by perspective parents and carers who are interested in signing up their little ones for our fun filled performing arts sessions!

INTRODUCING KALYN FROM JIGSAW PERFORMING ARTS WANDSWORTH!

“Jigsaw felt like a family from the moment I stepped through the doors on my first day as a student – so much so that I returned as soon as I could to teach! I look forward to inspiring the students bringing fun Performing Arts classes to Wandsworth

 

Why do you want to open a Jigsaw School?

It has always been my dream to open a Jigsaw School! From the perspective of an ex student and teacher of 5 years, Jigsaw is a place that sparks creativity, imagination and a sense of belonging for students and staff. Performing Arts classes for children aged 3-18 are really beneficial to build confidence, communication and social skills.  I’m really excited to open my school Jigsaw Performing Arts Wandsworth and bring more creative classes to young people in South West London!

What are you most excited about?

I’m most excited for our first show term at Jigsaw Performing Arts Wandsworth. It’s my favourite term – I love seeing the dance, drama and singing pieces students have been working hard on. It’s a great chance for the students to have lots of fun and build their confidence to perform in front of their families. Seeing the show come to life with the costumes and props is always very magical!

What do you hope to inspire in the young people of your area?

I hope to inspire students to be their authentic selves, and not be afraid to be silly or make mistakes at Jigsaw! Through our Singing, Dance and Drama classes I want to inspire creativity – absolutely anything is possible when you use your imagination. Jigsaw Wandsworth is a place to belong for everyone; so I hope to inspire a feeling of community and a place where every single young person fits in.

TECHNIQUE TERM AT JIGSAW ARTS EXPLAINED

What is a Technique Term at Jigsaw Arts?

A year at Jigsaw Arts is split into three terms. Technique Term, Presentation Term and Show Term. Our Technique Term allows our Students to solely focus on exploring their abilities in each subject, step out of their comfort zone, and gain confidence in new areas of The Performing Arts.

 

During a Technique Term at Jigsaw, our Teachers introduce new styles of Dance, Drama and Singing to each of their classes. We have many reasons to believe in the benefits of learning new skills each week without the demand of a performance at the end of the Term. While some Students choose to work on growing their confidence during this Term, others spend their time perfecting newly learnt skills or having fun and creating memories with friends.

 

Our Technique Term has strengthened friendships and teamwork within our classes as well as given our Students a taste of new techniques to try in each subject. We take pride in creating a positive and relaxed environment for our Students to try new things and be themselves!

 

 

Student reports can be very valuable, a proud moment to highlight the achievements reached this Term or a tool to reflect on future goals and improvements. At Jigsaw, we inspire our Students with positive feedback and gentle constructive encouragement to help them reach their goals and this is reflected in our reports.
