Old Library Reborn as Performing Arts Hub
4 Apr
Summary
- A performing arts studio has reopened in a former library building.
- Classes offered include dance, singing, acting, and aerial arts.
- The studio aims to welcome young people to a vibrant arts space.
The former Madeley Library in Telford has been transformed into a dynamic performing arts studio, ToriArts Studios, which officially opened its doors on Saturday. This revitalized space, closed since summer 2024 after the previous dance company ceased operations, now aims to serve as a thriving creative hub for the community.
Victoria Goodall, co-founder and creative director, expressed her excitement about the reopening, highlighting the building's original purpose for movement and creativity. She stated that seeing the space closed was disheartening, making its revival as a performing arts center incredibly rewarding. The new studio is dedicated to welcoming young individuals.
ToriArts Studios offers an extensive curriculum designed for students aged 18 months and older. The classes encompass a wide spectrum of disciplines, including dance, singing, acting, acro, aerial hoop, and aerial silks. Goodall, who also manages a successful ToriArts Studios in Wellington with up to 250 students, is committed to fostering a positive and engaging environment for all participants.
