Drama
Drama
Our Drama Tutors are all working professional actors, writers and directors, with many years’ experience not just as actors, but also as teachers working with all age groups from our little pineapple chunks right up to the adults students.
Under the expert guidance of a skilled and friendly team of tutors, our senior students will learn, through various theatre games, exercises, set tasks and improvisations, how to cooperate in large and small groups, as well as how to concentrate themselves.
Improvisations in the senior school will be more challenging than the junior school in terms of emotional truth and developing well-rounded characters. With older children, it offers a chance to explore some concepts like friendship or loyalty; or they get a sense of other people’s experience by imaginatively “walking a mile in their shoes”.
Pre-written and even writing their own text will be introduced, they will also learn how to stay calm and relax on stage, how to speak clearly at stage volume without shouting, and how to learn and recite simple pieces of text, as well as the discipline of being on stage.
Singing

Our tutors are all professional performers many have performed in a whole host of West End Shows or have worked as cabaret or recording artists on national TV here in the UK and abroad, not only are they experienced performers but all have a many years of experience in coaching children, teenagers and adults at all levels.
