Awesome adult drama classes...the Brooklyn Players!

What a wonderful group of adult actors - the Brooklyn Players! 

What does our ADULT programme at our Brooklyn studio on Saturday mornings cover?

Apart from developing confidence for Public Speaking, Presentation Skills and Performance skills, the classes are also a great way to make new friends and be part of a focused group.
 
The programme helps those in business become more confident and those who act to follow their dreams. Being a good communicator is essential for future life-long success and we will help you to achieve this with our expert teachers.
We do this through a balanced theatre arts programme covering speech, advanced improvisation, structured small group improvisation, script work, character analysis and production and film techniques.
R730.00 per term (+- 8 classes per term)

SATURDAYS 
9.30 – 10.30AM 
Venue: Hellenic Community of Pretoria corner Roper, Brooks and Lynnwood Road Brookyn.

Sagewood Kindy Drama Classes playing with emotions

Today teacher Katryn brought faces with different emotions...the kindy kids had such fun acting out the different emotions and telling us why they feel sad / happy / angry etc.
Our drama classes create a wonderful platform for children to explore different emotions and express themselves through the spoken word. 

We run our drama classes at Sagewood School every Friday - we start with the Kindy kids ages 3-6yrs then we move onto the lower primary for ages 8-9yrs.
After that we work with the very creative upper primary for ages 10-12yrs and we end of with the amazing youth theatre 13-16yrs...
