PQA Eastleigh

Shout to our Joey our Musical Theatre Teacher ⭐️
What’s your favourite musical?
Currently my favourite music is: The Prom, but that does change on a daily basis.

What’s Your Favourite Film?
The Emperor’s New Groove

Have you ever met a famous celebrity?
I met Tim Burton on the set of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when I was little, I also vogued with Auli’ Cravalho (Voice of Moana) in London.

What’s the best thing about teaching at PQA?
Working with those like minded in their passion for theatre. Seeing students developing their skills and confidence to achieve. I’ve seen so much progression in the students since starting, and their efforts to work hard to produce the best work they can. A highlight has been both the show days of West End and the Addams Family, seeing both academies thrive in the spotlight and join together as a group of all ages, be supportive and shine bright with so much energy and smiles. 💛

Calling all PQA film enthusiasts! 📽️

Most films that we see on the big screen feature heroes, heroes that make us feel that anything is possible and that we have the power within us to overcome some of life's challenges.

That's why we're challenging our students to make a 90 second short film, with the theme 'A Hero's Journey'.

We want to see films that inspire us. Films that show us your version of heroism. 🌟

Full challenge details can be found here 👉https://pqatv.com/news/a-heros-journey-short-film-competition/

We are super excited to get started on this after half term Poppets ☂️

Shout out to the dream team at PQA Eastleigh! This team inspire the students every week with their high energy, knowledge and passion. They all take such pride in their work and love teaching our fantastic PQA students every Saturday! Very grateful to them all 🌟
