Einstein said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge." Thinking of new ideas, approaching familiar material in new ways, problem-solving a set situation and making creative choices are all elements that are used in a drama class. These are skills that are important for children to learn and develop, regardless of age.
Approaching a familiar problem or task in a fresh, new and creative way helps to develop children's ability to think "out-the-box" - a skill which is valuable throughout life, no matter what profession they chose when they are finished with school.
The speech exercises which are incorporated into the drama classes develops children's communication skills and builds strong, confident voices which are carried well and are full of energy and vocal dynamics. Children who struggle to communicate and speak with clarity and conviction are often over-looked at school and this may lead to a child developing poor self-esteem. Our drama classes develop good, strong speech skills in a fun and encouraging environment so that even the shyest of children will feel safe and confident.
It is important that children go to regular drama classes on a weekly basis as this helps them with their growth and development. The dramatic differences that speech and drama classes provide in a child's life will only be noticeable over a minimum of 1 term of drama; however, some children may take longer. Regular classes help a child grow from strength to strength.
