INFORMATION

Mini Combination classes with drama, singing and dancing for 4-5 year olds.

This fun class gives an introduction to the performing arts for our younger pupils. The class is split into 3 sections – with 20 minutes dedicated to each faculty of drama, singing and dancing. The children participate in activities that draw on popular children’s songs and confidence-building drama games. All pupils work towards performances in displays for family and friends.

This class is a great way for children to work out what they enjoy. Do they have a favourite subject they wish to pursue? Or would they like to continue learning all three disciplines in our more advanced Saturday Combination Classes?

Private singing lessons for specialised one-to-one tuition.

Our private singing lessons are extremely popular with pupils. As the class is one-on-one, a student-specific programme can be put together so that each child can gain exactly what they want from their lessons, whether that be confidence building, help with GCSE or A-level performance, or graded examination.

All pupils are given the opportunity to follow either the ‘pop vocals’ syllabus and train to sing like their favourite pop artists, or they can follow the ‘musical theatre’ syllabus where they will study and perform music from musicals ranging from Matilda, to We Will Rock You.

INFORMATION

Acting classes to learn a range of acting styles and techniques for TV and theatre.

Students will gain valuable skills in communication, imaginative thinking, team work and artistry. They are encouraged to be imaginative and inventive and learn to develop their natural acting skills – alongside observation, communication and concentration skills.

Classes regularly work on current TV scripts, which have become available through our agency. Students are given the opportunity to be filmed in class and learn from watching themselves back. The ultimate aim is to build confident, articulate performers.

LAMDA examination classes for students who are serious about wanting to act.

Students can choose to be entered for exams both in pairs, working on duologues, or as a solo performer working on monologues. There is the opportunity both for teamwork and personal growth.

Class time is split between learning valuable acting techniques and examination preparation.

We are thrilled that our students are entered into our very own D&B Drama Festival, putting their performance skills to the test for an external adjudicator (industry professional) and parents.

Examinations within our drama department are held with ‘LAMDA’. They are one of the oldest drama schools in the UK and have been offering speech examinations since the 1880’s.

Since then it has been honed and refined into what it is today, the UK’s largest statutory speech and drama awarding body.

In the Beginner and Level 1 classes, each student takes 3x 30min classes in drama, singing and dancing. Once students have progressed into the Intermediate or Advanced Professional Schools, the class lengths are doubled to 3hrs and classes in Audition Technique, Technical Jazz and Commercial Jazz are also covered.
