Acting up drama classes aim to promote confidence, self esteem and improve children’s mental health through games, play, imagination and creativity. Our classes are all child led with the children taking independence and helping to develop the classes. We are trained in working with children on the autism spectrum and all our classes are inclusive of children of all abilities.
We also provide workshops for schools, youth groups and community groups. For younger children we run classes to a theme, this may be looking at a different drama technique each week, for example: mime, improvisation and ensemble. Or the theme may be pirates, rockstars or superheroes. For older children we can look at a different topic that may be effecting them in day to day life for example: bullying, internet safety and self image
We have been providing workshops and storytelling around Belfast and Northern Ireland for five years and always find it extremely successful.
