General Drama Skills / Improvisation workshops

This class can be set at varying levels – focusing on communication skills, self and spatial awareness, character creation and storytelling. These skills are explored through Drama games and exercises.

Mask Work

This gives an insight into the world of physical theatre and mime using neutral masks. Classes focus on the power of body language and gesture as a medium.

Script Work

Students learn to interpret a script and create characters and relationships within the boundaries of the piece. We look at sub text, body language and communication within the writing whilst taking into account the writer’s style and the era of the piece.

The Speaking and Acting of Verse and Prose

This class concentrates on voice and diction work through the presentation of poetry pieces. We look at the rhythm and writing and feel of the poem and we explore ways to interpret and perform the piece. We use voice, physicality, sense memory and expression. Speaking and Acting of Verse and Prose is taught under the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts syllabus and can work towards an examination if desired.
