Announcing the winner of The Stage scholarship Huge congratulations to Bethan Martin for winning a year’s scholarship with us and The Stage newspaper, which is the oldest and most prestigious performing arts publication in the UK. Bethan, age 14 from Ashington, has been selected as the winner in a recent talent competition and will be awarded a year’s free tuition, which equates to more than 100 hours of exceptional performing arts training worth up to £800.

Hannah Robinson and Mya Stewart were awarded runner up prizes.

Thank you to each and every student who entered, you were all wonderful and we encourage you to try again next year. This wonderful opportunity gives all children the chance to join in because all that is required is a love of performing arts regardless of formal training. Participants simply had to send in a simple two-minute video highlighting what they can do from the Razzamataz curriculum. So that could be anything from a musical theatre song or dance, a drama piece, a pop song or street dance.

For Bethan's winning entry, she decided to perform 'I Dreamed a Dream' from 'Les Mis'.

Bethan said “I am absolutely delighted at winning the scholarship. Razzamataz Newcastle is a big part of my life and has given me the confidence to achieve what I thought was impossible. I am looking forward to further opportunities at Razzamataz in the future”

Now that Bethan is part of Razzamataz Newcastle she will have the opportunity to participate in many of the exciting events that will happen in 2017/2018. These include a whole host of performing opportunities, masterclasses with industry experts and the chance to audition for a leading talent agent as well as the chance to perform in London in the Indigo at the 02.
