Step into the world of drama with a taster session designed specifically for teens aged 12 to 17. This is not your typical drama class filled with just games and warm-ups; instead, it focuses on deeper skills like character development, scene-building, and performance techniques.
Led by Nick Gell, a NIDA-trained actor and experienced drama educator, your teen will gain valuable insights and hands-on experience in acting without the pressure of an end-of-term recital. This session previews a more extensive five-week course starting later in the term.
It's a fantastic opportunity for teens to explore their creativity, build confidence, and develop their acting skills in a supportive environment.
The drama taster runs on two Fridays: 10 July and 17 July, from 15:45 to 16:45. Each session costs $30 per child.
The focus is on practical drama skills, including:
- Character work
- Scene-building
- Performance techniques
There is no recital or performance pressure, allowing teens to fully immerse themselves in the learning process.
The sessions take place at The Place, located at 12 Victoria Street, Lewisham NSW 2049.
The venue is accessible and welcoming, providing a safe space for teens to express themselves and engage with drama activities.
Parents can easily drop off and pick up their children at the scheduled times.
This taster is ideal for older students who want to deepen their drama experience beyond basic games.
It is led by a highly qualified instructor with over a decade of teaching experience.
The taster serves as a preview for a more comprehensive five-week Term 3 module starting on 24 July.
No prior drama experience is necessary, making it accessible for beginners and those with some acting background.
Tickets are priced at $30 per child per session.
Booking is required to secure a spot, and parents are encouraged to book early due to limited availability.
