This course gives a deeper dive in the world of musical theatre for young teen performers. Through fun drama games and exercises students develop confidence and performance skills. Through studying valuable improvisation techniques, they learn characterisation and expression. Improvisation also encourages teamwork. Structured mime activities help students to learn the importance of body language and gesture and how to use this in their performance.

Students explore a variety of texts including poems and scripts. At this level we begin to work on pieces which require a deeper interpretation of character and situations. Most of all we encourage students to enjoy the magic of bringing the text alive and to the stage. Drama classes provide a fun way for students to develop confidence and language skills.

We explore a range of songs from the musicals from music hall to Broadway. At this level we encourage students to explore songs that they would like to perform. We teach technical singing skills which expand vocal range. Experience the joy of performing musicals through choreographed movement and storytelling.

Show time! At the end of the second semester students take part in our end of year musical. We choose an enjoyable story suitable for young teens. We believe every child has a special talent and there is always a role for everyone to play!
