"On the first day, three years ago, my son clung to my leg but The Drama Studio's approach more than any other activity, has helped his development and self -confidence. There are magical moments on stage that will be imprinted on my memory forever." Eileen Hone - Parent
The Nursery and Primary 1-3 classes will learn many drama games which will help understanding the importance of turn-taking, listening and speaking up when you have something to say.
Drama Studio Teachers use the highly effective teacher in role teaching technique to engage the children tapping into the immense capacity that young children have for imaginative role-play and mime.
It never fails to amaze us just how creative children are at this age and indeed the most extraordinary things happen in a young Drama class!

"Olivia's teacher at school has commented on how good her characterisation is. She has great voices for The Twits. She loves being other people! My son Michael who has always found it hard to keep up with other kids just loves the drama class. He runs in beaming and pays attention - that's quite a big deal for him..!" Gill Cloke
The Junior classes will work on plays and stories through to a presentation at the end of term.
Once we have introduced a drama structure to the class, the group will work their own ideas into the improvisation.
We will focus on specific drama skills including mime, movement, speed and pacing, interview techniques, storytelling, role-play, documentaries, still images, voice projection, stance and selective scripting.

"I have had amazing fun doing all the shows and made amazing friends. I hope other people will have the chance to have such an awesome experience." Kate Farrar - Age 16
"Alex has had huge benefit from your approach to drama and has loved it. The improvisational approach has so much more going for it than a highly coached thing. The Drama Studio has given him confidence in himself and is his best subject now." Eunice Duthie - Parent
