Marian St Theatre for Young People

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.

Course components

• Investigating character and stories through improvisation
• Working as an ensemble, collaborating with others
• Using your voice and body - diction, projection, body awareness

• Discovering the elements of play building
• Investigating character and relationships, situation, voice, movement, space and time, language and texts
• Scene work- understanding the scene, becoming a character, working with a scene partner, staging a scene, taking direction
• Turning a text into a performance and creating a performance from scratch
