DRAMA AND MUSICAL THEATRE

Drama

Our Drama classes will have something for everyone. Drama is a brilliant way to improve speech, speaking in public or to friends and peers, social interaction, confidence and self-esteem. It can also encourage reading, balance, focus and sense of determination. Children express themselves discovering new skills and using their imagination through improvisation, script work, voice projection / technique, acting styles / character work and performances.

Musical Theatre

An exciting mixture of drama, singing & movement. Performing arts is an excellent way to assist with reading, balance, focus and determination to succeed. Musical Theatre is one of the fastest growing areas of interest within the dramatic arts. Musical theatre is a theatrical performance that combines songs acting, and dance. The class also encourages and motivates young people to interact with each other.
