'Every Friday my daughter escapes into a magical world of make believe! Her imagination is fuelled and her confidence has grown! A wonderful experience for her!' Mrs Cassidy DRAMA Happy and confident is how all parents want their children to feel and be. We aim to help young people to develop and realise their maximum potential in a fun and friendly setting. We believe that Drama can help develop confidence and self esteem, as well as develop skills which can help in their future lives. Dramatic play has been proven to help develop language and social skills, promote perseverance, team work and children's imaginations and creativity.
Each week students will attend an hourly one and a half hour workshop, depending on their age, which will focus on a particular theme, skill or genre. Students will participate in a range of drama games and exercises and develop their skills in Improvisation, Characterisation, Mask Work, Physical Theatre, Directing, Voice, Movement, Role-Play, Puppetry, Stage Combat, Script Work and Playwriting. During the workshops we will explore the use of Drama, Creative Movement and Music and use poetry, stories, plays and songs from around the world, developing their interest in literature and the arts. EXAMINATIONS Students will have the opportunity to take the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts (LAMDA) Examinations in Speaking of Verse and Prose, Acting, Reading For Performance, Musical Theatre and Mime as well as participate in local Performing Arts Festivals. PERFORMANCE Both children and adults love the chance to showcase their talents and therefore we provide a range of opportunities throughout the year enabling our students to perform. At Christmas we produce a large Christmas Musical for parents, friends and family to come and watch which involves chidlren in Acts 1 and 2. At the end of the summer term we produce a showcase eprformnace or a summer musical for students of all ages to participate in. For those who are interested there is also the opportunity to participate in performances at local events and fundraising days as we believe that stduents of all ages benefit from getting involved in local community projects, such as performing at Brinsworth House. FURTHER EDUCATION We also prepare help to prepare students for Drama scholarships to secondary schools or drama schools, which have inlcuded Priorsfield Girls School, Box Hill School and the Webber Douglas Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.

We can aslo assist in the finding of gap year placements and past students have successfull gained workplacements at The Globe Theatre in london.

Music students are entered for the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Muisc (ABRSM) examinations in piano and music theory and also have the opportunity to perform in our regular productions as well as the Richmond Performing Arts Festival.
