🌟 Introducing: Corporate Lights Up 🌟 We’ve had more than a makeover — we’ve lit up a whole new way of working. After powerful feedback from our corporate improv sessions, we realized: this approach works. So we turned it into a movement — one that’s now reflected in our fresh new identity. Why it works? Because improv at work… ✅ Sparks creativity & innovation ✅ Builds stronger, faster teams ✅ Boosts problem-solving & adaptability ✅ Makes leadership sharper ✅ Elevates culture, morale & engagement ✅ Strengthens customer relationships ✅ Aligns values with real action ✅ Keeps work fun, flexible & human We’re not just looking different — we’re thinking differently. Corporate Lights Up isn’t just a brand. It’s our new mindset. 🔥 #CorporateLightsUp #NewCultureNewLook #TeamInnovation #CreativeWorkplace #AgileTeams Artwork @cathunm

Ok but can we just say… our teens’ new look? It’s actually giving 😮‍💨🔥 Its so Bussin’. The whole vibe? On point. ✨ But the real glow-up goes way deeper than the new look designed by the talented @cathunm ✨ As we’ve been working closely with our teens — teaching, creating, and just being in the room — what has surprised us most is the bonds they’re building. The way they open up, let go, and fully be themselves in our space? It’s powerful. It proves how much all teens need somewhere outside of school and family where they can express themselves and just be. Here’s what they’re gaining at @lightsup.perform 🎭 Mastering the Craft & Overcoming Self-Consciousness Improv helps them break past fear, build confidence, and stay present — on stage and in life. 🕺 Overcoming Body Consciousness Through Movement Movement helps them embrace their bodies and express emotions with freedom and confidence. 🎬 Acting Techniques: Learning from the Masters From Uta Hagen to Stanislavski and Meisner — we dive deep into the craft. 🌟 West End Performers & Masterclasses Real pros. Real advice. Real inspiration. 🎤 Music: Finding Their Voice They’re learning to express themselves through song and unlock their full vocal power. 💬 Teen Connection & Expression This is their space. To feel safe. To let go. To connect. To shine. We’re so proud to offer that space — and even prouder to watch them own it. 💡 #LightsUpTeens #TeenGlowUp #BussinBeads #CreativeConfidence #ThirdSpaceForTeens #LetThemShine #DramaFam #NextGenTalent #ExpressionMatters #PerformingArtsForTeens

✨ Our Lights Up Kids has a fresh new look 🎭😎 Cooler, bolder, brighter… but still 100% @lightsup.perform With this new look, we’ve also taken the time to sharpen our focus. We’ve streamlined and broken down exactly why Lights Up! matters — for kids, teens, and even adults. For our Kids Stage (Ages 7–12), it’s all about building real skills and confidence: 🎭 Improv helps them explore imagination, build resilience, and express emotions 🎶 Music supports cognitive growth, language, and teamwork through group singing 🕺 Movement strengthens coordination, creativity, and storytelling through the body 🎤 Stage work teaches patience, voice projection, collaboration, and presence All of it comes together to help them grow — not just as performers, but as people. Same mission. Stronger message. Lights Up! is where creativity, confidence, and connection come to life 💡 Thanks again to the incredible @cathunm for his creative ,bold and very cool design 💫 #LightsUpGlowUp #LightsUpKids #TheatreWithPurpose #CreativeConfidence #NextGenPerformers #ImprovForKids #YouthTheatreMatters

Thank you to the incredible @cathunm for your artwork, absolutely incredible. We will launching our early stages classes at our after school clubs next academic year (September 2025) and can’t wait ! Want to know why we think early years children will benefit from @lightsup.perform ? Here’s a few points below : The Power of Play and Exploration Improv: why is it important? - at this age, toddlers have a natural ability to access creativity without self-judgment. - they are not bound by rules or logic in the same way older children and adults are. - improv helps them explore their imagination freely, reinforcing problem-solving skills, adaptability, and emotional expression. - encourages social interaction, turn-taking, and expressive communication. Music: unlocking early learning potential - toddlers have an exceptional ability to absorb sounds, making early exposure to music highly beneficial. - they don’t just hear music; they experience it through movement, rhythm, and repetition. - engaging in musical activities strengthens neural connections, aiding in language development and cognitive growth. - keeps their creativity open and thriving, preventing early conditioning that might limit self-expression later. Movement & creativity - encouraging toddlers to move freely with music helps with motor skills, coordination, and spatial awareness. - allows them to develop an early sense of rhythm and physical If you think your school will benefit from this , get in touch with us now! #earlyyearsfoundationstage #lightsupafterschoolclub #newclasses #launching #newlook

There’s something special happening in these photo’s 📷 Our teens aren’t just learning a new song—they’re building friendships, making memories, laughing, connecting, and being exactly who they are. At @lightsup.perform we’ve created the space we wish we had growing up—a place where passion meets purpose, and where every kid knows they’re supported, seen, and celebrated. This isn’t just about singing, acting, or improv. It’s about life. It’s about confidence, connection, and community. And yeah—it’s about having a really good time doing what you love with people who just get it. We’re proud of this crew. And we’re just getting started. #LightsUp #CreativeCommunity #TeenArts #SafeSpace #ConfidenceThroughCreativity #MakingMemories #ImprovLife #musicandfriendship
