Our Youth Theatre Classes for Teenagers are very POPULAR!

On Mondays we have our Faerie Glen Youth Theatre .... under the expert tuition of Katryn! 

On Tuesdays we have our Brooklyn Youth Theatre which is facilitated by our Vice Principal, Larisa!

 On Wednesdays we have a combined class of 10-16yr olds which we present in Midstream. This class is also under the instruction of the lovely Larisa!!

 Also on Wednesdays but a lot further North...in Annlin to be precise! We have a small but dynamic group of teenagers who Michelle really enjoys teaching!

We also have Youth Theatre classes in Wierda Park on Fridays and Beaulieu on Saturdays...photos to follow....

The Youth Theatre programme, for ages 13-18years, we offer in the Academy is one of self development. Our prime aim is to give students ongoing confidence and skill in verbal communication. We do this through a balanced theatre arts programme covering speech, advanced improvisation, structured small group improvisation, script work, character analysis and production techniques.

From Midrand to Pretoria North there is a Youth Theatre class near you!!

Visit our website - www.helenogrady.co.za for addresses and times of the classes mentioned above...

THEATRE EXPERIENCE WEEK OFFICIALLY STARTS MONDAY 17 NOVEMBER!

Dear Parents

For the first time at Helen O'Grady Drama Academy Pretoria we are having a Theatre Experience Week!

                                            What does this mean?

Instead of going to your normal studio for your dress rehearsal - you will be going to the Masker Theatre at Tukkies!
This is a wonderful opportunity for the students to get the feel of a real theatre and for those planning on studying at Tukkies it is an opportunity to visit the campus!

Students are to arrive in FULL COSTUME with MAKE UP! If the Academy is providing make up / costume please arrive 15 minutes earlier than scheduled!

Photo Shoot - every student will have their photos taken and there will be a CLASS photo!! The photos will be on sale on the day of the show. A5 photos - 1 x  INDIVIDUAL 1 X CLASS = R60.00

If you are not sure of the time of your rehearsal or show please sms Juliet 0829091630 or email juliet@helenogrady.co.za. It is best to contact Juliet in the mornings as afternoons we are very busy with rehearsals and shows!

It was impossible for some studios to  have their lessons at the Theatre - they will have their have Theatre Experience just before they perform on the weekend! They have had their photo shoot - have a look at some of the great pics from our Tuesday Beaulieu Group performing Storyland...more photos of other studios to follow over the next few weeks!

DRAMA CLASSES IN ANNLIN FOR ALL AGES

Principal, Juliet Jordaan, loves to visit the students at our Annlin Studio. They are so enthusiastic and over the past year they have really developed their self confidence and oral communication skills!
This week they performed a Mime to Music called the Laundry Basket.

Mime to music teaches students how to communicate non verbally through their facial expressions and through the whole body.
