CERTIFICATES!

Diary of a drama teacher...
This morning (amongst other things) I'm writing certificates for our amazing students. Every single child will receive a certificate on Parent Day this term whether they have been with us for 2 weeks or 6 years. Youth Theatre students don't have a Parent Day in Term 2, so those students who've been with us 7, 8, 9, 10 etc... years will be getting their next Award on Performance Day in the summer term.
Last week saw us start rehearsals for our summer performances in all our classes. Each week this term we practice the play and develop characters through exciting, dramatic activities with every child fully involved with great enthusiasm in every rehearsal. No one gets bored at Drama Kids and DK Youth Theatre!
Join us for the fun of summer production term. Unique ensemble plays include all children throughout. You aren't paying for your child to sit around waiting. If they want a line (or more) great! If they don't - they don't have to speak. We adapt our classes and performances to every child in the class. And that includes yours :)
Our summer plays are unique to Drama Kids. Written by experts in child development all children are on stage throughout and fully included in weekly rehearsals and the performance.
Working at home preparing this year's scripts: casting, line allocating (leaving blank lines for new students) Kieren, Laura and I are getting super excited about starting rehearsals for this year's plays when term starts next week.
Over 1000 applicants auditioned for 250 places at prestigious CAPA college in Wakefield which provides full time Arts training and education for students aged 16 - 19. Youth Theatre student Joe will be joining CAPA in September 25 after taking his GCSEs this summer. Joe joined Drama Kids when he was 10 and we are all SO proud of him and his achievements. Joe is also a Studio Assistant and working towards the RSL qualification Level 3 Teaching Assistant in the Performing Arts with Drama Kids.
