About The Workshop
Acting is a creative, constructive and social way to tap into children's wonderful gift of imagination.
Acting is a great tool that:
- Enables children to strengthen their communication skills (speech, writing and body language)
- Develops problem-solving skills
- Strengthens focus and concentration
- Promotes teamwork
- Encourages active listening
Through these courses, students gain greater knowledge of themselves through playful theater games. Students develop their imagination and intuition, which will in turn, lead to a greater sense of confidence when dealing with unfamiliar situations. The class environment is fun and supportive! The courses are designed to enrich all types of children, from those who love to take center stage to those are not comfortable in public settings.
