Split by age, this 3-hour class allows students to explore and
develop their ‘Musical Theater’ skills, which is incorporated into our drama, singing and dancing.
Acting and stagecraft skills are supplemented by audition technique, voice production and improvisation. Voice production, encouraging correct technique for young voices. Movement skills are further developed with emphasis on technique, with added interest including stage combat, physical theatre and design projects such as set and costume design.
For a little fun and to understand more of the magical world of theatre we like to showcase, on occasion, specialists in areas such as stage make-up, lighting, sound and the world of stunt performing.
