Clubs

Wednesday Drama  classes at South Campus are fun packed. Your children learn stagecraft and theatre skills while building on their natural ability to express creative ideas and think on their feet. This term, there will also be an opportunity to perform in  a musical retelling of ‘the Hare and Tortoise’ in a theatre in Amstelveen. This event will take place towards the end of term. 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. For more information contact Rachel Stewart. The classes themselves follow a rehearsal format for this show, where the children learn lines, songs and dances. In this process they develop an understanding of how to bring a story from the page to the stage. The class teaches your child performance skills and the value of teamwork, all while building their own ability to focus.  Drama club provides excellent support to language development, literacy skills and self confidence.

The club leader, Rachel. Stewart has extensive experience as a writer, director and coach of children's theatre,  as well as being an experienced 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.
