Welcome to the Blackfish Academy Website

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website.
I hope you will find everything you need to know about the extraordinary academy we have created here at Blackfish.

Blackfish Academy was formed in 2005. Our home is The Roundhouse Theatre based inside The Dover Discovery Centre situated in the heart of the town.

Dover is traditionally the gateway to Europe and is currently undergoing a cultural revolution.

We provide professional entertainment, community theatre and professionally run workshops in various disciplines of the performing arts, such as; Acting Techniques, Physical Theatre, Dance, Stage Combat, street theatre & Musical Theatre.

Our very own Roundhouse Theatre - To hire, contact: 07920 255493

Our intention is to create a premiere arts and entertainment centre which provides people of all ages within the Dover area with a creative outlet for their energies, and a canvas for painting a future for the younger people. Our plans include; facility expansion to include an arts education academy; expansion of the community theatre project; formation of a drama company and dance troupe, development of a cabaret supper club/dinner theatre and creation of a strong employment and entrepreneurship training program.
