Clubs

Thursday Drama club at Sandcastle  builds strong foundations in acting, musical theatre and stagecraft. This term, students will work on developing their core performance skills by bringing a play from the page to the stage.   In term two, the children work on a scripted production of Mother Goose. The show is a musical, which explores what happens to kindly mother Goose when her goose one day lays a golden egg.     

The play tracks her shift in values as she becomes increasingly obsessed by materialism, before rediscovering her core values as a kind hearted and family orientated woman.Term two is intended as a progression from the lessons learned in term one and the children will have the opportunity to perform the show in a theatre usually over a weekend in June. As the performance falls outside the normal lesson times listed, there is a small additional cost for theatre tickets and the dress rehearsal to cover theatre hire and costumes for those children joining the final performance. 

The club leader, Rachel. Stewart has extensive experience as a writer, director and coach of children's theatre,  she is also a seasoned performer and improviser herself. Rachel founded the Active children's theatre group 11  years ago and has since mounted around thirty children's performances in theatres around Amsterdam. Rachel places great emphasis on developing each child, ultimately even writing parts that extend and challenge them, while playing to their strengths. The Shows that the children perform in term 2, are written by Rachel, and are tailored to every child's ability level. Rachel and her production team offer a tailor made approach to children's theatre. If you have any questions about Drama and your child please contact  Rachel Stewart.
