Curious about drama? Want to see if it’s right for you, but super busy in the term time?
Week long Drama workshops are a great introduction to drama – and many students come back each holidays for them! What looks like fun games are really important drama exercises that teach the fundamentals of performance, as well as build confidence, creative thinking and skills for working with others. Workshops available for 5-7, 7-9, 9-12,12-14 years in Killara
4 day workshops $240 and one week workshops are $270
9AM - 12PM DAILY FOR 5 DAYS
Throughout the week students focus on:
• Vocal techniques – the basics of voice projection and well as diction and clarity
• Movement skills – introduction to stage physicality and movement
• Improvisation and creating prepared pieces
• Characterisation and character development
And…there’s a short performance on the last day for family and friends! This helps students put into practice everything they’ve learnt throughout the week. Students do have to book in for the whole week as they’re working towards a performance on the last day.
These workshops are lots of fun and give creative inspiration for children over the holidays. So, why not give drama a go during the holidays?

Drama develops confident, creative young people.
Children build vocal skills, physical expression and imagination through the weekly classes – and have lots of fun working together. Vocal and physical communication is developed so our young people can be seen and heard clearly on the stage. Children often work in groups, and sometimes in pairs to create devised theatre pieces and present them back to the class. These can often be fun and quirky, or more serious pieces – depending on the children’s imaginations! Each class begins with a vocal and physical warm-up. Trials available
The class includes:
• Vocal exercises in projection, clarity and diction
• Movement skills for physical expression
• Exercises in relaxation and breathing
• Focus and communication – preparing students for improvisation and the ability to present theatrical work with power and clarity
• Stage techniques – the basics needed to be seen and heard on stage
• Play production – creative and problem-solving skills are developed. Sometimes this class touches on script-work
Drama can also be a great way to develop confidence and creativity with other, like-minded children.
Rituals and Routine - tell your creativity what time to show up by doing creative activities at the same time each day. Try playing some music at the start to help you feel expansive, exploratory...excited.
