BLAZES - GRADES 8 - 12
OWN YOUR CRAFT
Train. Create. Lead. Perform
WELCOME TO BLAZES
WHERE TRAINING MEETS PURPOSE.
Blazes is Ignite’s advanced performing arts program for students in grades 8–12 who are ready to take their training further.
Some Blazes are preparing for college programs or professional opportunities. Others simply want to become stronger performers, take on meaningful challenges, and be part of a community of artists who care about what they create.
There’s a place for both.
Through advanced training, productions, classes, private coaching, masterclasses, and performance opportunities, Blazes are encouraged to work with intention, take creative risks, and grow into confident, thoughtful artists.
WHAT CAN A BLAZE DO?
TAKE THEIR TRAINING FURTHER.
Train. Challenge. Create. Lead.
TAKE YOUR TRAINING FURTHER
Blazes can build a training experience around their individual goals. Explore acting, voice, dance,
musical theatre, improv, private training, and more—whether you’re preparing for what’s next or
simply becoming the strongest artist you can be.
TAKE THE RISK.
DO THE WORK.
OWN YOUR VOICE.
This is where artists grow.
THE NEXT STEP
FROM ARTIST TO LEADER.
As performers grow, we ask them to take greater ownership—not only of their craft, but of the community they’re helping to create.
Blazes are encouraged to arrive prepared, make thoughtful artistic choices, take creative risks, support their ensemble, respond to feedback, and understand that meaningful growth requires both discipline and courage.
Our teachers challenge students while continuing to meet each performer where they are.Because advanced training isn’t about being perfect.
It’s about becoming more intentional, more confident, and more fully yourself.

TRAIN. CREATE. LEAD. SHINE.
BEYOND BLAZES
WHERE CAN THEIR TRAINING LEAD?
There isn’t one definition of success at Ignite—and there isn’t one path after Blazes.
For some performers, what’s next may include college theatre or musical theatre programs.
For others, it may mean professional auditions, community or regional theatre,
continuing to perform while pursuing another career, or simply carrying the confidence and
skills they’ve developed into whatever comes next.
Blazes can also continue their training through:
Ignite All Stars • Private Training • College & Audition Coaching
• Crew Club • Masterclasses & Workshops
Whatever comes next, we want them ready to
step into it as confident artists and good humans.
READY FOR WHAT’S NEXT?
Find Your Place in Blazes.
You don’t have to know exactly where performing arts will take you.
You just have to be ready to keep growing.
