Marian St Theatre for Young People

Weekly drama classes for new and continuing students

Learn to act, create and perform. Develop creativity, confidence and collaboration through drama. 

Every week, students work with a professional Teaching Artist to build acting, performance and creative skills, whilst also developing a deeper understanding of the world and of themselves.

Y4-6 focus is: Storytelling, Devised Theatre, and Introduction to Scripts

In this class students are encouraged to explore their imagination to the fullest whilst developing voice, movement, character, and stagecraft skills. Every week they build their confidence and creative expression whilst developing their performance skills in improvisation, devising (performance creation), and retelling of stories.
