ESK COMMUNITY CLASSES
Our Esk program is our newest addition and we could not be more excited to be bringing our classes to the Somerset Cicvic Centre in 2023. Our classes actually start in the April School Holidays with a Teens Acting for Stage and Screen Program - check it our here
The below program is kicking off in mid-April 2023. Our classes are designed to be inclusive of all neuro and physical diversities. Please consider that age ranges are a guide and to select the class that will best match your child's interest, focus and maturity level. If you're unsure, send us an email, a text or a call.

FAQ's
What's Drama?
We recommend Drama to those who want to build confidence, improve their public speaking and communication skills, explore their creativity, work with and write scripts and hone their improvisation skills. These classes will do scenes and plays, work a lot with improvisation to help us learn to think on our feet and problem-solve and write and tell stories through art activities, drama games and creative writing. We might do a little bit of singing and dance in this group, to work on our vocal and physical freedom and technique, but it is not the focus of this class.
Which Age Group?
Our ages 4-5 group is a Singing & Drama class, focused on building confidence while learning the basics of drama, music and rhythm. Expect high energy, some silliness and lots of creative play.
For ages 6+, the age ranges are a guide. If you have an 8 yr old who is mature and loves script analysis, maybe try the 9-12 class. If you have a 9 yr old who thrives in a high energy environment with lots of games, maybe try the 6-8 class. There's no right or wrong here, every child is different and will thrive under different circumstance.
Can I watch the Class?
We have found that having parents in the room can be a bit distracting and can make shy children even more reserved and make it more difficult for distracted children to focus. Every child is different and we will leave it up to you what you think is best for your child.
If you would like to be in the room to support your child, we will ask that you participate in class and join in all the activities rather than sitting on the side to watch - kids will follow your example!
We also ask that, as difficult as it can be at times, you don't speak on behalf of your child. For some kids, just saying their name or answering a question in front of the group can be a huge win and if their guardian always jumps in to help when they are struggling, they might never get that chance. We will take great care to never embarrass or pressure your child to do anything they do not want to do.
