Expressions Drama - Eldwick

Drama Classes

Expressions Drama classes are fun, engaging and explore many areas of acting and drama within a creative environment as well as performing on the real stage.

We believe every young person is unique and should shine to their full potential. Our Drama classes offer young people of every age and ability the opportunity to perform for audiences, trained by experienced professionals, learn new skills and build confidence. Gaining these life skills will help excel people's future and opportunities along the way.

Class work during September and December focuses on the learning and development of specific skills.

Every student is offered the opportunity to take part in a showcase of work at the end of the Christmas term. This is an enjoyable showcase of work from the students incorporating drama and acting methods.

During the course of the year students have the opportunity of performing to audiences and taking part in local drama festivals. Each group is assessed by festival adjudicators. All entries receive a certificate and a written report which students can use to reflect on their ongoing development and skills.

During the spring and summer term students work towards a graded group and/or individual examination with the Trinity College London examination board. Trinity College London is a highly respected board with an outstanding reputation. Their certificates are held in high admaration and will compliment any CV. Students applying to further higher education will find them benefical, as this is evidence of extra curricular education and development outside of school. This will hep them STAND OUT from the rest !!
