Drama (Primary 5-7)

Year-long Weekly Short Course for Children and Young People

Overview

Drama (Primary 5–7) is an exciting and creative in-person class where young people can explore the exciting world of Drama. Our sessions are designed to be fun, collaborative, and inspiring, while helping students develop a wide range of performance skills. 

Across the year, our Tutors guide students through a creative curriculum that introduces different drama styles and techniques.  Students will explore core Drama skills through games, practical activities, and group discussion. 

Students are encouraged to use their creativity and imagination as they develop skills in voice, movement, improvisation, storytelling, and character creation. Alongside these practical skills, the class supports personal and social development by encouraging confidence, teamwork, and thoughtful discussion. 

Reflection and feedback are an important part of the process. Students are given opportunities to share their ideas, discuss their experiences, and learn from one another in a supportive environment. 

Most importantly, we want every young person to enjoy being part of the class and feel confident expressing themselves. 

At the end of the third term, students will work towards a short performance for an invited audience of family and friends, celebrating what they have learned throughout the year.

We run a variety of different courses throughout the year, and update our programme regularly – you can find all courses by clicking here.
