Let your child’s imagination soar in our engaging drama camp, designed to bring picture books and their characters to life! This course not only fosters a love for storytelling and drama but also cultivates essential skills such as teamwork, communication and self-expression. 

Each day, your child will dive into the joy of storytelling as they work together to dramatise a beloved picture book. They will explore characters, settings and emotions, learning how to transform a simple page into a lively performance. Along the way, they’ll develop skills in analysing characters’ feelings and understanding the story’s plot to connect more deeply with narrative elements. 

To bring these stories to life, kids will learn how to express themselves through movement, body language and purposeful speech. They will gain confidence in delivering dialogue, using their voices effectively, and communicating emotions with clarity. These creative exercises not only strengthen acting skills but also help them overcome stage fright and embrace public speaking. 

Collaboration is a key part of the magic. As they work with their peers to create cohesive performances, children learn the value of teamwork. Yet every child will get the chance to shine, interpret stories in their own way, and feel proud of their imaginative choices. 

At the end of each class, a short 5-minute sharing session gives participants a supportive space to showcase what they have learned. It is a wonderful opportunity for kids to receive encouraging feedback and continue developing the confidence that comes from stepping onto a stage.
