Has anyone enrolled their kids in the drama classes put on at the Goose Green Community Centre by 'Perform'? My son is 5 and I'm considering one of their three-day holiday classes, where they spend three days putting together and then performing a show. I think this year it's Alice in Wonderland, or Peter Pan.


Just wondered if anyone had some feedback about them as I don't know anyone who's done it.


Many thanks!

Hello


My kids were in Perform - a different venue, but same company. They did regular classes on a Saturday rather than the short course, but I thought you might like to hear an opinion as it's very similar. It's a bit expensive but it's SUCH a good class. They have very solid core structure to the classes, which work on building confidence and empathy, teamwork and physical coordination. They were super both for my uber-confident exuberant son, as well as for my son who shied away from public speaking. They manage to bring all the kids together and all of them seemed to just adore it. My kids kept asking when they could go back all week, they had so much fun. I haven't done the shorter courses but the way they get the kids to put a whole play together is so super, I am confident they'd be great too.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
