THE CLASSES

After-school drama uses fun activities to teach performance skills such as vocal technique, movement, character building, devising and script work. Students will learn ways of working together, stepping forward into leadership and listening to others. Drama class is just like any other team and students will be guided in how to support each other in performance, learning and discovery.

Classes involve voice and movement training as well as character building skills and acting for stage as well as screen.
