Generosity of Spirit!

Diary of a Drama Teacher...
What really impresses me about the children in our classes is their generous spirits. Last night, paired in mini scripts, we had a situation where 2 children both wanted to be the same character. We used the 'which hand is it in' method to choose who played which part. The child who didn't get the part she wanted did brilliantly with the part she ended up with. She gave it 100% and performed with confidence. No fussing or sulking. A far more valuable skill than being a great actor!
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.
