Theatrics Performance Classes

  • These 90-minute classes offer all-round training in stagecraft, including singing, acting, dance and movement and are ideal for children (7 – 14 years) who enjoy performing, but do not wish to take grade exams.
    Incorporating current trends in contemporary music as well as musical
    theatre, emphasis is on performance.
    Following warm-up and class work, students will work on a set piece to be presented to parents at the studio every term.
  • Performance classes are an outlet for expression in a freestyle situation, whilst learning valuable performance techniques, including, vocal projection and placement, breath control, improvisation and scripted dialogue, dance styles and choreography. We will also explore TV acting and microphone technique.

Stage Kidz Performance Classes

  • These 45-minute classes offer a variation of the performance syllabus outlined above but are designed for younger children (4 – 7 years).
    (Please note: four-year-olds must already be in reception class at school)

Combine A Specialist Class

Students may choose to combine Performance or Stage Kidz classes with a more specialised class. The timetable allows for linking some classes together. The content of Specialist classes does not conflict with the regular programme.

  • Street Dance: Urban styles to the latest hip hop and dance music - a 45 minute class. (7-14 yrs)
  • Advanced Dance technique: This is a 45 minute class which will cover elements of dance technique in more detail including Contemporary to tap, Irish to modern jazz techniques, all of which are important in the performers' development. (11-16 yrs)
  • Actor's Workshop: A 45 minute class which is pure drama encompassing acting methods, characterisation with voice control and development. (11-16 yrs)
  • Ballet: We offer the B.T.D.A. ballet syllabus for youngsters. (4-7 yrs)

Optional Activities

  • During the summer holidays we offer a five-day summer school for 7 - 14 year olds, based on our performance classes with a show at the end of the week.
  • We regularly arrange theatre trips to see a variety of performances taking place in the Midlands and Staffordshire.
  • We actively promote students wishing to audition for local productions and events.

New Students at Theatrics

At Theatrics all new students are welcome to join in the fun; enthusiastic interest is the key ingredient. There is no need to commit to full term fees or the purchase of uniform and shoes until after the second class, when the student has settled in and decided to continue lessons with us. We would then expect them to wear the designated uniform for their particular class. Newcomers will be assigned to classes that reflect their age and ability.

All parents are welcome to contact Adam or Nicky to discuss their child’s progress.
