PERFORMING arts training sessions will be on offer to student actors and musicians.

Stagecoach Theatre Arts is providing a weekend of tuition from April 21 to 23 at The Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College, Vane Terrace, Darlington.

The sessions, open to anyone aged 17 or over, will include dance, singing and drama.

Other training will range from group-scripted works, speaking schools and confidence building sessions for job interviews or public speaking.

Trudy Hindmarsh, principal of the group, said: "We love working with adults but do not often get the chance because of our weekly commitments with 350 Darlington children and 150 in Yarm.

"In the past, our adult students have had very complimentary things to say about their experiences so it makes it all doubly worthwhile."

People can attend as many of the sessions as they want. Prices start at £3 per hour for a class.

Dance styles include salsa, ballet and hip hop. Musical theatre, pop and choral numbers are offered in the singing training.
