Dramatic Inspiration

Jasper has been part of Step On Stage for the last years as part of our weekly Drama classes as well as our youth theatre.  Here, he talks about his experiences at the school and how it has helped him and inspired him
Every Tuesday at 5:15pm, I attend a drama class at the exchange with Step on Stage (S.O.S.), we work on LAMDA and TRINITY exams as well as improvisation, characterisation and our cooperation as an ensemble. I also performed in this year’s S.O.S. production of ‘Goodnight Mr Tom’ as one of the main characters: abused World War II evacuee ‘William Beech’. With the help of the incredible S.O.S. team, it was an unforgettable experience to show my performing abilities and make some great new friends.

Earlier this year I received a letter from Hampton Boys saying that I had been accepted with a drama scholarship! I am incredibly proud of this and couldn’t have done it without my great S.O.S. teachers. Last year, with the help of S.O.S. I got the male lead in our school production of ‘The Aristocats’ as ‘Thomas O'Malley’. This prepared me a lot for ‘Goodnight Mr Tom’ and helped with my confidence and vocal abilities as well as my acting skills.

​As I move up to secondary school in September, S.O.S. has given me acting abilities and an outlet for my writing too, but it has also given me confidence, resilience and the courage to try new things, put myself centre stage and also work as part of a team.  Life lessons as well as lessons in acting.

Thanks to everyone who has helped me along the way.
