White Cliffs Dance Challenge
UK Canterbury, Kent
White Cliffs Dance Challenge
Saturday 10th October
I am inviting your school, choir or community group to be part of our exciting Speech & Vocal Challenge, taking place on Saturday 10th October in Canterbury, as part of the White Cliffs Dance Challenge weekend. As we're keen to encourage more local schools, choirs and community groups to get involved, we would absolutely love to welcome your performers. The event is designed to be a fun, friendly and supportive opportunity for performers of all ages and abilities. It's also a great chance to give pieces you may already be working on another opportunity to be performed - whether they're from a school production, concert, showcase, exam, competition or simply something your group enjoys performing together.
There are a variety of sections to choose from, including: Musical Theatre Drama & Acting, including monologues and Shakespeare Speech & Verse Vocal & Choir Performances Solo, Duo, Trio & Group Singing for children and adults Prizes, Awards, Medals and Trophies So whether you're a school choir, community singing group, youth theatre group or simply have a group of performers who would enjoy taking part, there's something for everyone. We're also delighted to welcome Daniel Parkinson as our adjudicator. Daniel is an established West End performer with 10 years of experience and is also an adjudicator and panellist for West End Calling, where he supports and inspires the next generation of performers. Our aim is to create a positive, encouraging and inclusive environment where performers can enjoy being on stage, gain confidence, learn from the experience and celebrate what they can do. And if your performers love the weekend, there's even more happening on Sunday 11th October, with our Dance Challenge, which is already nearing capacity. Across the weekend there will also be plenty of fun challenges, including: Parent & Teacher Fun Challenges Choreography Challenge Street & Improv Knockouts Lip Sync Battle We would really love to see local schools and community groups represented in Canterbury this October, and hope you'll consider bringing along your singers, performers or choir. Entries and further information can be found at www.playandperform.co.uk or via @whitecliffsdancechallenge on social media. If you have any questions about which sections might suit your group, please do get in touch - we'd be very happy to help. We hope to welcome you and your performers to Canterbury this October! Best wishes, WCDC Team x

. Stepping Down of the Current Committee Members and Election of the New Committee Members
Could you help run Centre Stage?
Nominations for this year's Committee election have now closed. We received nominations for Chair, Treasurer and Social Media Officer, but the remaining ten elected roles received no nominations.
That doesn't mean it's too late to get involved!
We'd love to hear from members who might be interested in joining the Committee. There are lots of different ways to contribute, whether you're great with people, organised, creative, good with numbers, love putting on events, or simply want to help Centre Stage continue to thrive.
In particular, we still need volunteers for Secretary and Business Manager in order to form the Required Number of Committee members under our Constitution. If we don't have new volunteers before Monday's AGM, the outgoing role-holders have kindly agreed to stand temporarily while we find replacements.
The other vacant roles are:
Artistic Director · Box Office Manager · Membership Officer · Events Officer · Education & Diversity Officer · Communications Officer · Production Campaigns Officer · General Member
If we don't get volunteers, these roles will remain open after the AGM, so you don't need to make a decision by Monday. If you're interested in one of them - or would simply like to have a chat about what might suit you - please email president@centrestage.london.
Any new volunteers who come forward after the AGM will be formally elected at a Special General Meeting in October.
Centre Stage is run by its members, for its members, and we'd really love some new people to come and be part of the team.
