Drama Kids

About Us

At Drama Kids we help children to express themselves creatively, communicate more clearly and grow in self-confidence. We teach from a structured, professional curriculum which explores voice, movement and creative drama. We use professional acting techniques to train children to speak clearly and also to develop physical coordination skills through expressive movement. Our creative drama section is different each week and includes short, scripted plays, improvisation skills and mimes to music. The classes are all high energy and lots of fun for everyone, the children get to share their ideas and contribute to the play of the week.
