Unique Performance Classes for Children.

PQA Bedford offers your child the chance to take part in weekly performing arts sessions filled with exciting and creative projects. Whether you’re looking for them to develop new skills, make friends, or step into the spotlight, PQA provides a safe and welcoming space where they can express themselves.

Beyond showcasing their fantastic performances, we encourage students to explore all aspects of the performing arts industry, broadening their horizons and inspiring their creativity.

Our team of industry-experienced teachers is passionate about guiding and inspiring students as they embark on dynamic projects in Drama, Musical Theatre, and Filmmaking. Along the way, they’ll develop essential life skills like teamwork and problem-solving that will benefit them far beyond the stage or film set.

Hello, I am Lydia and I am Principal of PQA Weston-super-Mare. I have been with PQA Weston-super-Mare since its inception in 2019. I am delighted to be able to offer this exciting weekly training to the young people of my local community and from where I grew up. My love of performance started when I was four years old. The weekend was my favourite time of the week because I was part of a local amateur dramatics group where I was able to perform in theatre productions and make great friend.
