Clubs

Tuesday Drama club at South Campus builds strong foundations in acting, musical theatre and stagecraft. 

This term, students will work on developing their chore performance skills. The class will draw on the improv theatre techniques of Second City in Chicago and teach students how to work as a team, think on their feet and develop grounded and compelling scenes and characters. Children will learn object work, stage dynamics and how to ultimately build a play from the ground up. The class adopts a playful, but structured approach. Children develop an understanding of how to perform and communicate ideas and stories, through language movement and song to an audience. The class also teaches your child the value of teamwork and how to support each other in a scene. The lessons involve components of musical theatre and your children will already learn the songs and choreography that eventually appear in the performance at the end of term 1.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 mostly 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.
