So you want to be a triple threat? Be the best singer, dancer, and actor you can be? Well, this class is a great way to improve those skills and realize your dreams of performing onstage!
This class focuses on building core skills in performance in students. The goal is not to be the best on stage, but rather to work together to build upon your skills and improve your abilities.
This class is a great intro for students who may not have had much experience on stage and want to build their skills in a group environment.

Speech arts is the act of communication through various types of literacy to build confidence and technique in all levels of communication.
Whether we work on mime, practice a poem or prose passage, or work as a group to develop a scene, the act of performance will enhance your communication abilities.
Each class students will work on group communication exercises, a piece of their own, and a group piece to present on the final class. This class is great to build the skills needed to go from elementary to high school education, and can also involve writing and non-verbal styles of communication as well.

This Speech Arts and Drama class is a masterclass in literacy and confidence development.
This 10 week program introduces students into writing, developing, and presenting speeches and performance work in a fun and inclusive environment. We use literacy to help build self esteem, and create meaningful change in presentation skills for any type of performance. Whether they are on stage performing Shakespeare, or in front of a class presenting a speech, you child will learn the tools needed here.
