Our  Theatre  School Profile

We strongly believe that a good thought conveyed with the right gesture, expression and movement makes a lot of difference.

“Developing life skills in young people”

Theatre classes introduce  students to a world of wonder and play but it is more than that. We are moving to a more digital age, dominated by social media and the internet, driven by the desire for us to give and receive messages and ultimately connect with each other. Yet without dreams, imagination and discovery all of this is worthless and life becomes dull. Drama and the practice of acting allows us to question who we are, why we are here and challenge preconceived and existing structures and ideas. It makes us reflect on our own values and belief at the same time helping to shape them.

We believe that drama, music and dance should be taught in an atmosphere where learning and development is a fun process. This prospectus deals with the specific elements  of drama.

Acting is a vocational activity that allows an individual to grow in confidence, build self-esteem as well as creating a performance. Acting classes are certainly not only for students who wish to become actors  or performers. There are several class types that our acting school holds at the spotlight which are designed and ensuring that there is something for everybody.

From traditional theatre forms to modern theatre, which allows you to feel the emotions and motivation of your character, lose all your inhibitions and feel free to explore any characters within you! All these Performing Arts skills are so important in building confidence and enabling growth and development of important life skills.

Highlights of Our theatre class :

Actors will be working individually and in groups to experience the world of  theatre and drama. They will be able to discover how to articulate by speaking and listening to one another and writing about their experiences. Many of the activities in this course require an intuitive, spontaneous response, which is then consolidated through reflective enquiry and questioning. All elements of theatre taught in this course will culminate in the production of children’s theatre , which will be entirely student written, directed, designed and performed.

 

Self-Confidence :

Aspects of performing arts, especially improvisation, helps children understand how to appraise situations, think outside the box and be more confident going into unfamiliar situations. Students learn to  trust their ideas and abilities. Confidence gained from learning performing arts skills applies to school, career, and life.

 

Imagination :

Being creative and learning to make creative choices helps students to be better at thinking of new ideas,  allowing them to view the world around them in new ways. Einstein said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.”

 

 Empathy :

Understanding characters, roles and the subtext of plays and musicals allows students to relate better to different situations, backgrounds, and cultures. It encourages them to show compassion and tolerance for others.

 

Cooperation :

Theatre is a collaboration of different players and in many cases the quality of any performance reliance on an ensemble performance. Combining the creative ideas and the abilities of all participants is required for the best outcomes. This requires all those taking part to engage in discussions, feedback, rehearsing, and the performance.

 

 Concentration :

Playing, practicing, and performing will develop the ability and skills to be able to focus the mind, the body, and the voice.

 

Communication Skills :

It seems obvious to say that drama, theatre and the performing arts improves verbal and nonverbal communication, but it is worth stating that this benefits young people through their life. It improves vocal projection, articulation, tone of speech and expression. Importantly is also develops listening and observation skills.

 

 Fun :

Drama brings elements of play, humour, and laughter to those taking part – improves motivation and reduces stress.

 

Emotional Outlet :

Acting and drama games allow students to express a range of emotions and encourage them to understand and deal with similar feelings they may be experiencing. Aggression and tension are released in a safe, controlled environment – often allowing for a period of reflection afterwards.

  

 Physical Fitness :

Performing, even the most passive performances, requires intensive movement over a prolonged period. Many performing arts exercises improve flexibility, coordination, balance, and control.

  

 Memory :

Rehearsing and performing lines and movements will improve memory. Your memory requires exercise, just like  a muscle.
Appreciation for Arts and Culture!
…because it will bring joy into your life
