Programme Details:
A theme-based programme that introduces children to drama techniques such as role playing, improvisation, physical movements, breathing, vocal elements, dramatisation, stage directions, and other basic performance techniques. Children and parents will learn these drama skills through creative activities involving storybooks, script work, characterisation, and more! Through the programme, children will be able to express themselves articulately and confidently, while also learning skills to build relationships with peers and exercising creative thinking. The goal is for children to explore widely the steps of working together in role play, create character with their innate creativity, and to participate in a stage performance confidently.
Speech & Drama
Speech and drama is an important building block to any child's development. Speech and Drama is a powerful way for children to learn the building blocks of effective communication. Speech and Drama enables children to develop the 5 Cs: Confidence, creativity, critical thinking, collaboration and communication.
Fear of public speaking and anxiety and being the centre of attention is common among many adults, especially those who did not have opportunities at a young age to challenge these natural fears. Speech and Drama helps children to express themselves in a safe environment without feeling judged.
One of the greatest assets we can develop in our children is strong interpersonal skills, enabling them to effectively communicate with people from all walks of life. Interpersonal skills include verbal and non-verbal communication, active listening, positive teamwork and conflict resolution.
This class includes voice and speech exercises, improvisation, exposure to literature and fun drama journeys where learners collaborate to come up with a drama performance. Join us at the end of the programme for a confident performance of your little ones.
