MAKING A SCENE
When creativity and imagination is undervalued in school and socially our creative children feel like they don't belong.
But our classes are a place where they will flourish and delve deeper into their unique ideas and develop them through acting, mime, storytelling, improvisation and more.
Because they meet like-minded kids, they become confident and make friends easily. Our trained teachers walk with them celebrating every milestone on their drama journey.
Our students perform at community events and are often selected for leading roles in local theatre productions. Academy students are awarded top marks at festivals and for grade exams.
We have a range of classes in Speech and Drama and Theatre and Acting for beginners to senior level.
We also realise that parents need to juggle activities, so our Musical Theatre Classes are a "one stop shop" and cover acting, movement and singing. These sessions are subject to the number of students wishing to attend them.
For more on classes see our website here
Our focus is on developing communication, presentation and performance skills using drama as a platform for learning. Making a Scene Drama classes are a fantastic catalyst for developing essential communication and acting skills that contribute to personal and career success for life. Our Academy classes combine drama with improvisation and public speaking skills that give our students skills for life.
