Scream Theatre School pupils perform Frozen II's 'Into the Unknown' to help motivate children returning to school - have a listen to their talents here

Pupils, who attended the summer school at the studios in Wareham Road have made a special recording of blockbuster Frozen II's spine tingling 'Into the Unknown' performed in the film by Idina Menzel and the track and video is causing an online stir.

A number of children lent their vocals to the children's ballad favourite during their summer camp workshops, with the video and song released on the school's Facebook page.

Founder of the school Tracey Bell said she was delighted to have been able to give the children opportunities over the summer and welcome them back for a few weeks of singing, dancing, drama and fun.

And Jessica Bell, senior talent Manager at Scream Management and Blackpool’s Scream Theatre Schools added they hoped the motivational musical number would help inspire school children across the resort to show resilience and be brave, strong and courageous in their first few days returning to school after such a long time-out.

The video of the Scream Theatre kids performing the smash hit song, has become a sensation on-line and has become so popular that it’s quickly become an anthem for the new normal, return to school, with hundreds of local school children sharing and singing along.

Jessica said: “Let’s face it, 2020 has been a hugely overwhelming and chaotic year so far and what better way for school pupils all over Blackpool and the UK to literally “Go Into The Unknown” whether they are starting a new school, a new year or concerned about what school is going to be like following new coronavirus health and safety guidelines, social distancing, teaching bubbles and new ways of learning.

So our fabulous summer schools students arranged this iconic powerhouse ballad.

"Unleashing the incredible voices of Blackpool’s Scream Theatre performers - for all the COVID Generation kids out there going back to school, starting a new school or moving up a year, and even for us big kids going back to work or starting or looking for a new job, well just go and check this video out and we say to you, “Do Not Be Afraid - the Scream Kids have got this.

Sing it loud! As you set about your new week ahead! This is the ultimate power tune to get you going in the morning and it resonates very powerfully with our young voices performing it with raw energy and positive empowerment, it’s amazing and so emotional."

Tracey and Jeesica were able to bring the lights, camera and action back to the school for the summer period after hosting most of their drama sessions digitally in the last few months.

The studios have now re-opened for their regular sessions to allow their talented pupils to come together again and they are inviting new performing arts enthusiasts to join them.
