Drama classes for children

Drama classes help children speak expressively, hold an audience with confidence, develop their imagination and use Russian freely.

Through stage games, exercises and character work, children learn to listen to a partner, convey emotion and work as a team.

What children do in lessons

• develop diction and expressive speech

• work on intonation and voice

• learn to convey emotion and character

• perform scenes and drama exercises

• develop memory, attention and imagination

• work with movement and physicality

• learn to interact with partners on stage

• overcome the fear of performing in public

• help create costumes, characters and sets

We stage real productions

Over the school year children work on theatre productions in Russian.

We prepare performances for festivals and school events: casting roles, rehearsing scenes, and working on speech, movement, music and the portrayal of each character.

For a child this is more than a class — it's the chance to travel the whole road from the first rehearsal to a real performance in front of an audience.

Russian through drama

Drama is especially valuable for bilingual children, because Russian is used naturally — in dialogue, emotion, movement and interaction.

Children pick up new words and expressions, learn to build phrases and begin to speak more freely, more vividly and with greater confidence.
