Description
Junior Speech and Drama Classes are perfect for children aged 9-12 in 3rd – 6th class. The 2.5 hour class is broken into the two parts; firstly, we cover vocal exercises, reading aloud, story-telling, public speaking and solo performance pieces. Secondly, we cover group scenes, improvisation, mime, and character work. In keeping with the school year, we split our classes into two terms, with each term building towards a showcase for family and friends.
