What to Expect
This after-school drama taster is designed especially for children aged 8 to 12 who are curious about acting but may feel shy or nervous about traditional drama classes. The session is relaxed and encourages creativity through games and improvisation, so there’s no need for memorising scripts or auditions.
Led by Nick Gell, a NIDA-trained actor and experienced drama educator, children will enjoy a supportive environment where they can explore storytelling and acting skills in a small group setting. It’s a perfect introduction to drama for young beginners.
Parents can expect their children to come home buzzing with excitement and new creative ideas after this fun and engaging session.
