What is the Unearthed Schools Performing Arts Challenge?

The Unearthed PA Challenge is a festival that offers a chance to discover the Performing Arts with other school students from schools across Britain. We are looking to unearth Britain's hidden talent and to give students the challenge of discovering themselves and a love of the arts.It aims to build confidence and skills through performing and provides helpful notes from expert adjudicators. Whether you can sing, dance, act, recite, do circus skills, play an instrument or write your own compositions, it will be a unique opportunity to meet others in the same field and compare performances.
Schools will also be able to participate in a combined closing night Performance Spectacular!

If you want to see youth with a purpose developing stage skills such as dancing, singing and acting; backstage skills like lighting, make-up, construction, music; or life skills including leadership, resilience, and focus, then why not take the first challenge and be a part of the Founding Team!

School Anti-Violence and Bullying

The Unearthed PA Challenge is also concerned with school bullying and is looking at ways to use the arts to help reduce and even eliminate this problem from schools. The performing arts can be used as a way of channeling anger and aggression constructively as well as building self esteem and confidence and working together with other people.
If bullying is a concern to you or your school and you would like to help raise money to develop new ways to tackle this serious issue, then we'd love to have you involved! Please click the Join the Team button and get involved today.
