Little Shakespeare Theatre School aims to teach drama using Shakespeare. Children will become familiar with the plays and their language which will serve to enhance their vocabulary and imagination .

As the children improvise scenes and use the text for voice exercises, instead of shying away from the language, children will come face to face with it, with the help of unique warm ups and theatre sport games, as well as improvising different scenes and learning to recite poetry. Speech, confidence and knowledge of literature will be enhanced, as scripts are adapted to their age and circumstances in a fun and innovative way.

Class dates for this term

  • Performance Club - Thursday nights from 19th August to 16th December.
  • Saturday Clubs - Saturdays from 21st August to 18th December.
