Faerie Glen Lower Primary - what do you want to be when you grow up?

The wonderful lower primary at our Faerie Glen studio dressed up as who they want to be when they grow up...singers, doctor, vets, SPCA owner..

The students created a fantastic play revolving around their occupations.

Then they explored different aspects of movement- which they thoroughly enjoyed.

Faerie Glen Parent Presentation enjoyed by all!

Students from Helen O'Grady Drama Academy's Faerie Glen studio enjoyed performing for parents and friends on Monday night!

From Mime to Music to Verbal Dynamics and great mini scripts our audience experienced many facets of our programme in an informal workshop.

We ended off the evening with our Awards Ceremony. Students were awarded with Merit and Acheivement certificates! One student completed 100 lessons with the Academy and received her trophy! Well done to all our SUPER STARS!!

Brooklyn Upper Primary transform into factory workers

Our Upper Primary at our Brooklyn Studio are brilliant at dressing up and bringing props to class! 

They had so much fun with their play set in an ice cream factory!

Helen O' Grady Drama Classes take place every Tuesday in Brooklyn and Elarduspark. 

This week's dress up theme and Bring a Friend

This week Monday 3 - Saturday 8 February all students in Lower and Upper  Primary are dressing up as Cavemen and Cave women!! 

This can be very easy...messy hair, brown or animal print clothes and dirty faces!!

This is for our Mime to Music called 'No Meat'!

The students are going to have a lot of fun with this! 

This week is also Bring a Friend Week!

This means that students can bring a friend (or 2!) along to drama for a free lesson!! 

Faerie Glen Upper Primary students really went to town with their play called The Cleanest Town in Texas

Students aged 9-12 make up the Upper Primary at our Faerie Glen studio. Every student created their own interesting outfit and they thoroughly enjoyed learning how to speak with a Southern Drawl!

DRAMA CLASSES IN FAERIE GLEN FOR AGES 5 - 18

We run our internationally acclaimed drama classes in Faerie Glen on a Monday afternoon. We start with our 5 - 8 year olds - they are so enthusiastic and creative! 

 Then we move onto our 9-12 year olds - they are such a delight and a the moment they are preparing for their Parent Day Presentation. They are going to really impress their parents' this year with their incredible acting and talented performances!

 Lastly (but definitely not least!!) we have our Youth Theatre group for ages 13-18. WOW! These teenagers are super talented and such an amazing group to work with :-)

Principal Juliet recently visited our Fabulous Faerie Glen Upper Primary Class...

For children who live in the Faerie Glen/ Moreletta Park /Lynnwood area of Pretoria, there are fantastic classes at the Faerie Glen NG Church on Monday afternoons run by our wonderful teacher, Larisa. We have students from many of the schools in the area

Our Lower and Upper primary classes had great fun acting out a mime to music called "The Marionettes". Mime to music teaches students how to communicate non verbally through their facial expressions and through the whole body.

Faerie Glen Upper Primary - what a creative group!

Students aged 9-12yrs attend classes in Faerie Glen on Monday afternoons during the school term! This group of creative and dynamic students thoroughly enjoyed their lesson yesterday! Apart from Wacky speech exercises that really do help to develop good speech these boys and girls explored different levels during movement and their verbal cannon during their play The Volcano was fantastic!

It's 'Bring a Prop' for all our Lower Primary classes this week!

This week the students from our independent studios have been asked to bring props relating to 'elderly' people - eg: shawls, glasses and walking sticks.

We have had so much fun teaching the children to use props and it is wonderful how much dress up and props enhance the performance!

YAY! Dress up clothes...Faerie Glen Lower Primary love dressing up!

Have you met the naughty pirates from Captain Joe's Ship?

You haven't! Well not to worry on Saturday 19 November they will be performing for you! And boy oh boy are these pirates naughty and oh so cute!

The Upper Primary - what an awesome bunch of students!

 The cool Youth Theatre...

The sometimes 'crazy' Youth theatre!
Classes from ages 5-18yrs take place every Monday afternoon from 3.30-5.30 at the NG Faerie Glen Church on Glenwood Road. Students are divided into separate age groups. Our main aim is to develop their self confidence and oral communication skills but most of all we want the students to have loads of FUN!! Because the best way to learn (and to remember) is through play!
