Drama Classes

Open to children and young people in school years 3-13

Drama Classes at the Criterion Theatre
The Criterion is a family and a big part of this is encouraging and nurturing the future members of our Company. Using imaginative play, theatre games, visualisation and movement, role play and scripted action, the classes offer the opportunity for children and young people to stretch and grow and experience the excitement of theatre. Drama techniques help children and young people to learn to cooperate and create together, hone their listening skills and feel more confident. Classes work towards performances for friends and family.

The classes also draw participants into the wider life of the Criterion, allowing them to see and experience the huge array of activities that go towards running the Theatre. There may be workshops run by Company members and opportunities to see the development of current productions.

All drama class tutors are DBS cleared.

The classes run at the Criterion Theatre for ten weeks during term time on a Saturday morning. The Group 1 class which comprises school years 3, 4, 5 & 6 runs from 10:00 to 11:00 and the Group 2 class which comprises school years 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 & 13 and  runs from 11:15 to 12:30.

The termly cost is £40 payable on enrolment.
