Our slade groups offer children a safe place where their imaginations are celebrated.
Creative play is facilitated and stagecraft introduced gradually. This allows these young “players” the chance to grow in confidence and expression and steadily develop their performance skills. Music, dance, art, singing and the use of costume, props and masks are all incorporated into the sessions, to help build confidence and enhance creative expression.
Opportunities to share class work in performance will take place at the end of the Summer Term.
Slade classes are divided into two age groups and you can find out more below.
