Summer School Review From Jigsaw Student Mason!
- Published Date: August 11, 2023
A Jigsaw Arts Summer School offers a week long of theatrical fun for students aged 3-18. For our Jigsaw students missing the Jigsaw Joy and new students who are interested in the world of the performing arts, it is a great way to learn new skills, build confidence and make new friends!
Jigsaw Chelmsford hosted their annual summer school at the Hampton’s leisure centre. It was a week full of performing arts fun, open to all Jigsaw students and new students in the community. The students work towards devising, rehearsing and then performing a show to friends and family at the end of the week.
We interviewed Jigsaw Chelmsford student Mason, who is also a member of our Jigsaw Arts Agency, to give us his take on what it’s like to attend a Jigsaw Summer School.
Mason has been attending Jigsaw Chelmsford’s Summer Schools since they first opened. He has plenty of experience with what it’s like to attend!
