The BeXD Create Teachers
BeXD Createโs teachers are passionate about fostering an inclusive space in their classes and helping each student develop tools for long-life learning, creativity and self-expression.
Their collective experience in the arts industry has taught them that awareness and positive mental health practices are so important for actors, musicians and performers at every age.
All of their teachers are experienced and qualified to work with your kids and have impressive backgrounds in education and the arts industry in film, stage acting, musical theatre and singing. You can find more information about individual teachers and their backgrounds via the BeXD Create website.
The founders of BeXD Create believe art is about joy, honesty and self-expression and had found that often these things get lost in the quest for perfection, particularly as artists start to train in singing, acting and dance. In their classes they strive to uncover authentic expression and give their students the tools to share their creativity, rather than trying to shape them into a cookie-cutter artist.
Learning singing, drama and dance builds confidence and helps people of any age to express themselves in a collaborative, fun and safe environment. In a world that is overwhelmed with mental health challenges, constant stimulation and social media, it is one of the greatest joys to help someone find their voice and build, or sometimes re-build, their self-confidence, and the strength to share things they care about.
Testimonials
โMy daughter participated in a recent one week intensive production of High School Musical Junior during the holiday break. She loved the whole experience – receiving guidance from professionals in the musical theatre industry, learning from teachers who were fun, kind and enthusiastic, and making a bunch of new friends who share her passion. She has a chronic medical condition, yet BEXD accommodated her medical needs and my mind was put at ease, knowing she was well cared for.โ – Sarah, parent
โI enjoyed it, it was my first stage play outside of my school one, its led me to go onto being apart of others as well, I really enjoyed meeting new people and working with the people who had ran it. So I have to say thanks for letting me be apart of High School Musical Jr.โ – Harry, student
โMy child has started with BeXD weekly drama classes in term 2 and has absolutely loved them! It has been a great and safe space for him to express his inner actor. The teachers are fantastic. He also joined in for the school holiday musical workshop and performed in his first on stage production – High School Musical. Not only did he enjoy the week of workshop but LOVED performing for all the families and friends at the end of the week. It was also a great show for the parents to enjoy. Highly recommend BeXD Create!!!โ – Renee, parent
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the age limit? All of BeXD Createโs holiday workshops are suitable for young artists aged 6 to 16 years. Their Musical-in-a-Week program is an incredibly fun week, but also quite intense and a lot to learn in just 6 days. It is not recommended for young students under 6 years old as they can find the long days overwhelming, especially if this is their first experience of theatre.
BeXDโs KIPA (Kids in Performing Arts) Program has been specifically designed for students ages 9-12 who have some prior experience in theatre, music, dance or other performing arts. If your child is brand new to performing arts but you think this program would be great for them, you areย welcome to book a trial class or get in contact with any questions, otherwise it is recommended to try their ‘Musical in a Week’ Holiday Program as a great first step into theatre.
My child has special needs, are these classes suitable? Neurodiverse children are very welcome in these workshops. BEXD Create has assistant teachers to offer extra support to any children who need it.
