Making a Difference to the Lives of Young People

Confidence Through Creativity

Welcome to CYGNETS

We are a vibrant not-for-profit group developing skills in the performing arts, providing performance opportunities, as well as building confidence, self-esteem, self-belief and improved communication skills in our young people and adults.

We nurture creativity in a safe and encouraging environment, teaching the skills needed to grow, thrive, and achieve whatever they aspire to.

Run by volunteers, as a group we offer community, friendship, personal growth and social development.

DRAMA & PLAYS

SATURDAYS 11:00 – 12:15

During term time for ages 7 to 18 years

All attendees learn a wide range of skills including devising, improvising, how to build character, how to take scripts from page to stage including uniting and analysing scripts, stagecraft as well as Vocal Coaching throughout. 

Working with an experienced Director, they practice and perform monologues, duologues, soundscapes, extracts and plays from different genres including Shakespeare and GCSE Texts, and are always working towards a final performance.

MUSICAL THEATRE

SATURDAYS 13:00 – 16:00

During term time for ages 7 to 18 years

All abilities are welcomed and participants work with a talented, experienced and highly qualified team of Director, Musical Director and Choreographer, learning new skills which not only help build performance skills, but develop confidence, communication and social skills.

We are always working towards a Production, and our current musical is SHREK JR, to be performed in July 2023.   Tickets are now on sale. 

SPRING AND SUMMER COURSES

Lasting 3 and 5 days for ages 7 to 18 years 

All participants experience an exciting singing, dancing and acting course culminating in a final show where they get to showcase their individual talents.

A key feature of all our courses is that everyone taking part is equally involved irrespective of age and ability, by rotating parts so that several people get to play the main parts.

All courses are very popular and sell out quickly so early booking is recommended.

About CYGNETS

WHO WE ARE

CYGNETS (Cheshire Youth Group for New and Emerging Talent on Stage) is a vibrant and energetic not for profit group set up in 2010 to develop skills in the performing arts, create performance opportunities, and use theatre, music and dance to build confidence, self-esteem and communication skills.

This in turn helps our young people, aged 7 to 18 years,  to express themselves more effectively, gain the skills to achieve their aspirations and realise their potential, and aids personal and social development.
