KINDY DRAMA IS AMAZING!

Pre-schoolers can also enjoy our international developmental drama programme! We offer our programme exclusively to pre-primary schools in the area.
Classes for ages 2,5 - 6 year olds are run at Whiz Kids Academy, Beaulieu Grade 0, Midrand Montessori and First Friends Montessori Schools.

Activities include speech development; language and vocabulary development; story telling; mime; creative movement and dramatic play. The emphasis is on fun, ensuring our little tots learn in a friendly and unintimidating atmosphere!

The Upper Primary Ended of the Presentation with a sterling performance of The School Camp

Our 2 camp leaders were simply fantastic!

 Hooray!!! It's that time of the year again...
When we get out our Camping gear!

We'll sort out the food!

We'll put up the tents...


Time to get some sleep under the stars!

Oh no...it's starting to rain...


We want to go home!

Lyttelton Parent Day Continued...

LYTTELTON PARENT DAY FINALLY ARRIVED!!

Our students from our Lyttelton studio were delighted they were able to showcase some of their talent to their parents, relatives and friends yesterday at their Parent Day...
The Venue was idyllic...

Classes take place every Saturday at the Forever Resorts Hotel - which is simply beautiful! The Hotel allowed us to use their conference room which had plenty of room for parents and friends to come and watch the students in ACTion!
The Lower Primary executed their Mime to Music with precision...


Then it was the Upper Primary's turn to show off their speech skills in their Verbal Dynamics called The Supermarket

Brooklyn Lower Primary Going on a Cruise!



The students of our Brooklyn Studio were asked to bring props for their play about going on a cruise...sunglasses,hats,umbrellas,towels..you name it they brought it! The term "prop" is a shortened version of the theatrical term "property," a word used to describe any object handled or used by an actor in a performance. Props are used to enhance the actors performance and make it more believable for the audience!

Wierda Park Upper Primary celebrate another Birthday!

 Oh my...I have never seen so many Blackberries all together...and these belong to the students from our 9-12yr group...The Techie Generation!


 Happy Birthday Gabriella - all of us at Helen O Grady Drama Academy wish you a very special day tomorrow :-)

Sagewood Classes in Full Swing!




 In today's lesson we worked on different movement techniques such as dabbing and wringing...


 We make great new friends at Drama and we get to work with different people all the time!

 Listening intently as Chene explains what we are going to do next...
