What to Expect
Get ready to roar, stomp, squeak, and fly in this exciting drama workshop designed especially for children aged 5 to 8. Young performers will explore the magical world of animals inspired by beloved films and stories such as The Lion King, Dumbo, Babe, and the Just So Stories. The week is packed with imaginative games, craft activities, and role-play that spark creativity and confidence.
Throughout the workshop, children will develop teamwork skills and build their self-esteem as they embody their favourite animal characters. The week culminates in a final performance where family and friends are invited to see the children shine on stage at the Ensemble Theatre.
