Welcome to NXT GEN Academy, where the next generation of creatives can thrive.
If you know anything about our big sister BN1 Arts, you know we like to do things
differently and NXT GEN is no exception.
We are the ONLY academy in Brighton for 12–16-year-olds who want to study music
AND performing arts. Maybe you love musical theatre but dream of writing songs, or
maybe you’re a budding DJ but would like to try acting – the combinations are
endless.
If this is YOU, then you’re in the right place or you will be if you’re hanging with us on
a Saturday afternoon between 2.30pm and 5.30pm.
Each term sees you choose YOUR own pathway, that is individual – just like you.
Each Saturday afternoon will see you take part in 4 x 45 minutes classes, in your
chosen disciplines.
With industry professionals as your tutors, in our industry standard studios in Central
Brighton – you will find yourself surrounded by like-minded people in a supportive
and nurturing space with the bonus of mentorship from our BN1 Arts students.
You will develop your current skills, learn new ones and have a lot of FUN. (We like
to do that too) We empower you to dream bigger, work harder and shape the future
of the creative arts.
