Mia Rogers is Matilda in the West End!

Posted on by Jigsaw Office

From Jigsaw Barnet to the West End: Mia Rogers is Matilda! We’re bursting with pride here at Jigsaw Barnet as we celebrate an incredible milestone. Our very own Mia Rogers has landed the title role in Matilda the Musical!

 

Mia, who attends Jigsaw Barnet on Saturday afternoons in East Barnet, has always shown an extraordinary passion for performing. Week after week, Megan and the team watched Mia grow not just as a performer, but as a confident, creative, and determined young person.

 

Seeing Mia take centre stage in one of London’s most beloved musicals is nothing short of inspiring. It’s a shining example of where hard work, dedication, and a love for the arts can lead. Mia’s journey is a wonderful reminder to all our students (and parents!) that big dreams really can come true.

 

Mia’s achievement is a celebration for the whole Jigsaw community, and we know this is only the beginning for her. We can’t wait to take our students to see her perform!

 

From all of us at Jigsaw Barnet…CONGRATULATIONS! Mia! You’re a superstar!

Jigsaw Bexleyheath is a place to belong for Gabriella!

Posted on by Jigsaw Office

At Jigsaw Bexleyheath we love watching our students grow and mature over the years. From their first day in the 3-4 and 5-6 classes to when they turn 18 and head out into the world. We have so many students who have been with us for 10+ who are now moving on whether it be on to further education or in to the work force and so over the next few months we will be interviewing them to see how Jigsaw has helped them to prepare for the next stage of their lives!

 

First up we have Gabriella who I interviewed on her last day at Jigsaw at the end of our Spring term;

 

How old are you?

I’m 16 years old.

 

How long have you been coming to Jigsaw?

I’ve been coming to Jigsaw Bexleyheath for the past 10 years!

 

What’s your favourite thing about Jigsaw?

I love the community and how we are all able to thrive off of each other. I find it’s a great space to explore all aspects of the performing arts and everything I love.

 

How has Jigsaw helped you?

It’s definitely helped me with confidence I am able to be much more outspoken and since I’ve been coming for so long I’m able to take that in to aspects of my school work and use the skills I’ve learned in real world senarios.

 

What are you going to miss about Jigsaw?

The people! I really love the staff, they’re like family and also my friends I’m going to miss them so so much! But most importantly I’m going to miss the 3 hours that I spend on Sundays at Jigsaw.

 

What’s next for you?

Once I’ve finished my A levels I will be going to a university in New York, USA where I will be training in film and theatre which I am really excited about and feel like Jigsaw has really helped me to prepare for that!

Easter Camp Aladdin Magic at Jigsaw Barnet!

Posted on by Jigsaw Office

What an unforgettable week we had at our Easter Camp, Aladdin themed, at Jigsaw Barnet! The energy was electric the moment our young performers stepped into the magical world of Agrabah.

 

Throughout the week, students took part in dance, singing, acting, and laughed their way through a whirlwind of workshops inspired by the classic tale of Aladdin. From high-energy choreography to powerful musical numbers (and a few genie giggles along the way), our talented campers brought the story to life with creativity and confidence.

 

The Easter Camp Aladdin extravaganza ended with a fantastic showcase for family and friends — and let’s just say, it was nothing short of a standing ovation moment! We were so proud to see every student shine on stage, many of them trying something new and absolutely smashing it.

 

Easter Camp went down an absolute treat, and we’re already counting down the days to our Summer Camp! Expect even more fun, creativity, and unforgettable memories.

 

Well done to all our brilliant students that attended the Easter Camp Aladdin fun — we will hopefully see you in the summer!
