OUR BROOKLYN STUDIO IS FULL OF BUDDING ACTORS AND ACTRESSES!!


This week the Upper Primary class (ages 9-12yrs) were asked to dress up for their improvisation set at Ski Resort! The students had a wonderful time putting together a very creative play!
We run drama classes at the Greek Church on Roper Rd on Tuesday afternoons and students come from a variety of schools in the area such as Waterkloof Primary, Brooklyn Primary and Pretoria Oos Laerskool. The main aim of our classes is to build self confidence and develop oral communication skills!!

OUR BROOKLYN STUDENTS LOVE TO DRESS UP!!

This week the Lower Primary class for 5-8yr olds performed their play based on the fairytale The Princess and the Pea. They loved dressing up as Princesses and they really looked the part!!

THE LOWER PRIMARY IN FAERIE GLEN ARE DOING A GREAT JOB UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THEIR WONDERFUL TEACHER LARISA!!


Here are some of the students from our Faerie Glen studio! They had so much fun today and can't wait for their next lesson! We run weekly classes in Faerie Glen in Glenwood Road on Monday afternoons.
