Zoe is an inspiration for the children. She has years of experience in the industry which means she is well placed to guide young performers with the care and attention they need. My daughter loves each of her sessions at Brightsparks.

Act Up – Foundation Drama Classes for Children 8-10yrs
Our drama classes for children provide a great introduction into the power of vocal clarity and production, body awareness, character development and improvisation skills.
These drama classes are focused on learning performance skills which are then transferred to improvisations and scripts. Each class begins with a physical and vocal warm up and then moves into the main activity of the day.
All our classes build towards a performance, whether it be for an Eisteddfod, Exam or a Production. This provides the students with a focus that gears towards the joy of performing and practicing their artform.
All our classes work towards building confidence, developing their own creative voice by honing vocal skills and gaining freedom in their bodies through movement.
The importance of all of the benefits of drama education can be summed up in the values it instills in the students’ own sense of well being, the life skills learnt in communication and collaboration and the inherent understanding of the human condition. These skills are areas that will see them through life as a foundation to success.

Drama Auditions
Each student must audition and/or trial for our classes before joining. For all Drama Classes they will be assessed during their trial lesson on their contribution and collaboration plus their willingness to show their own creative spirit.
For Private Coaching in Drama, students must present a short monologue or poem off by heart in an audition setting.
