Bristol Old Vic versus Old Vic theatre school for year 3

[lesshaste]

We are trying to choose some acting classes for our daughter who will be in year 3 this September. This is mostly for fun and we have no intention of encouraging her to be a professional actor.

The Bristol Old Vic Theatre school runs classes for year 3 and up www.oldvic.ac.uk/courses/youth-courses.html.

Amazingly confusing, this is not the same as the youth classes run by the Bristol Old Vic www.bristololdvic.org.uk/bovyc.html .

Does anyone have any experience of either or both? Is one better than the other or are they particularly different from each other?

Any help much appreciated.

Dd has done the young company Saturday classes since yr5, she is now yr 8 and still enjoys it. The focus seems to be on games and improvisation, and it seems to be quite a fun social group. I don't know anything about the theatre school classes, they may be fun too?

Wasn't aware of the Young Company classes - they look quite fun and unpressured!

saggybumthebeerbelly thank you. I think we will try it out.
