Creative Storytelling

In our Little Players drama classes children develop skills in a variety of drama techniques, such as characterisation, role-play, improvisation and storytelling.

Classes focus on narrative-led role-play as we explore character development and relationships between characters, and immerse these characters in the narrative story with a beginning, middle and end.

Children will build confidence and develop their stage craft skills (such as how to stand on stage when performing in front of an audience, how to project their voice) in a safe and supportive environment.
