What Large Drama Schools Won't Tell You
Over the past 10 years, many parents have contacted me enquiring about drama lessons. Typically, their child would have participated in a large group drama class at their school, or at a local performing art school.
What I have noticed there are a few things that many of those parents say:
“Steph doesn’t want to do drama, singing and dance. She just wants to do drama!”
“All I saw Sarah do during her school production, was sing at the back and do a few actions. I barely saw her”
“Conor is a bit shy, and he gets lost in a large group of more confident kids”
The parent felt that their child was being lost in a sea of other children.
So I was determined to build a drama program that gives every child a chance to shine.
What is this program? I would love to tell you.
Introducing..
The Centre Stage Drama Programme
