Events And Activities (showing 10 out of 12)

Our holiday drama camps offer fun and creative activities especially chosen to develop self-confidence, focus and concentration. Dramarama camps encompass a wide-range of performance arts training and introduce children to a variety of genres, themes and styles, with an introduction to Musical Theatre. Children take part in a wide range of fun and creative drama games, activities and exercises to develop dramatic technique, performance awareness and self-confidence. Children are placed together in age-related groups; please let us know if your child has friends of the same age attending, so that they can be together. This is a 4-day Drama Workshop Camp. Please provide a named, nut-free packed lunch and snacks each day, in packets/containers that your child is able to open. Please ensure that all food items which may be a choking hazard are sliced. Please provide cutlery if necessary. We do not have facilities on-site to heat or refrigerate food. Children should wear comfortable clothing, please ensure that all removable items are named (e.g. coats, cardigans, hoodies etc.) Children are not permitted to bring toys, special items or mobile phones to the camp. Please note, the school does not allow parents/carers to leave scooters, bikes, pushchairs on-site. All Dramarama Camps are drop-off sessions; parents/carers cannot come on-site to watch the camp, to settle a child, or to use the school's toilet facilities.
