This class is designed to work with students of Infant school age. They gain the valuable experience of working with other children, developing their skills through concentration exercises, and using their imaginations, all rolled up into a fun packed hour of theatre games and improvisation techniques.

At the end of each term parents have an opportunity to come into the class and watch the children perform pieces that demonstrate skills they have learnt. At the end of the Summer term the children participate in a small showcase of their work along with some of the other younger groups. This gives the children a chance to perform on the Playhouse Theatre stage in front of family and friends.

Classes are designed for Secondary school students, and again the class is structured in various ways. Individually the students gain the valuable tool of "team-work", what it means to work and be part of a team. Developing self-confidence, giving students self confidence and a belief in their work and ideas, to come forward and communicate with strength and conviction.

Within the class students will also develop the techniques of improvisation (block, offer, accept), working with status, using different stimulus to building a character, Mask work, script and non-scripted work. At the end of each school year the class performs in Theatre Studio's Summer Showcase which is held on the main stage at the Playhouse Theatre.

This class will aim to develop the acting skills of the students so that they are able to perform the characterisation of a role with sensitivity and originality. This will be done through improvisation and the study of specific texts such as "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" The ideas of Stanislavski will be explored to see how they assist the actor in giving a truthful performance, and there will be an emphasis on movement and vocal skills.

The emphasis in all the lessons will be practical with students engaged in developing a full understanding of theatrical skills. Every piece of work by the students will be performed to other members of the group. In order for the critical skills of the students to develop every student will be asked to assess a piece of work, and to justify a comment by referring to moments in the scene. To say "It was good" will not be enough. Specific reasons must be given why a particular move or gesture was or was not effective.

Open to any student of any ability who shares with us the joy of tap. Each term new steps and routines are learned culminating in a performance at the Summer Concert. Our aim is to give students the knowledge and enjoyment of another form of movement. We encourage students to learn the various different styles of tap, from the golden age of tap through to the modern tap dogs. It's never too late to learn and never to late to get rhythm !!
