Heartfelt performance
Whether they are in the spotlight or the wings, a huge array of opportunities exist for students to be involved in our highly acclaimed Performing Arts programme. Performing Arts at Kristin encompasses music, art, dance and drama for students in our Junior, Middle and Senior schools. Our award-winning productions enable students to gain practical experience within a fully functional theatre environment with industry specialists of the highest calibre.
Here at Kristin, the transformational power of the Performing Arts is highly valued and recognised the transferable skills they provide for different future pathways, including self-confidence, presentation, collaboration and discipline.
Our students come to us with hugely diverse interests, and we always help them find an opportunity to develop their passions, or to discover new ones. With so many opportunities available, students can learn to truly express themselves, discovering a sense of their place in the world – exploring, creating, and expanding their horizons.
Our recent musical productions include Disney's The Lion King KIDS, Disney's Frozen JR, the Addams Family, Grease and Disney's The Little Mermaid JR.

Our dynamic music programmes provides opportunities for students to be involved in choirs, orchestras, chamber music groups, jazz groups and much more. We also offer itinerant music tuition across more than 20 instruments.
Over the past decade extensive research has been conducted across the world on the benefits of young people (and adults) engaging with music education and participation in musical ensembles.
Findings suggest that the impact on wellbeing, physical health and the brain in general, are far-reaching. At Kristin we are delighted to see our students developing their musical abilities, but also their confidence, organisation skills and friendships.
For family and friends it is often ‘the concert’ or performance that seems like the highlight of these experiences, however for our passionate team of music educators, at Kristin it is the journey of the student as they develop as musicians and young people that is most valuable.
Kristin students are able to participate in our busy and exciting co-curricular Dance programme, which includes modern dance, hip hop, K Pop and Dancesport.
A highlight is the annual Dance in the Dove showcase, which sees students from our Junior, Middle and Senior schools coming together to deliver performances prepared as part of our curriculum and co-curricular dance programmes.
Dance at Kristin provides students with the opportunity to the develop creative and technical skills, as well as collaborative skills and new friendships. The physical nature of dance contributes directly to fitness, wellness and sense of self-confidence.
Participation in Theatre activities provides students with the opportunity to develop the important skills of collaboration, communication, creativity and critical thinking.
The ability to step into someone else’s shoes and to tell their story allows us to gain an appreciation and empathy for others in an increasingly diverse world.
At Kristin our co-curricular Theatre activities complement our academic offering, and provide an opportunity for self-discovery, to meet like-minded people and make new friends.
Students are fortunate to work with passionate and experienced tutors who provide a fun and safe environment for students to develop their skills as theatre practitioners.
Kristin has an unmatched national and international reputation for providing excellence through our renowned annual major productions.
Delivering three high-quality musical theatre shows each year, caters to our performers, technicians and musicians from across all three schools and facilitates an amazing journey for each student within the walls of our auditorium.
In all processes, Kristin students are offered the opportunity on and off-stage to learn professional practice, while challenging themselves to step outside of their comfort zone; learning technical and performance specific skills in an uplifting, supportive environment.
