Big Bold Youth provides high quality drama classes and workshops for 6-18 year olds across London and Surrey, catering for those who are new to the performing arts, while pushing those with experience that little bit further.
Each class consists of the following elements:
Games, Improvisation, Monologues, Projects, Stanislavski
Each lesson is 150 minutes with the first 15 minutes spent on games, 15 minutes on improvisation, 45 minutes on monologues, 45 minutes on projects and 30 minutes on the practice of Stanislavski.
Our teachers will ask pupils to learn monologues throughout the terms that will be presented to the class with feedback and re-direction. As well as flexing the memory muscle, this is also good preparation for drama school auditions.
Projects can range from original/new texts to devising short plays shown as part of a sharing at the end of term and open to parents. Stanislavski was a drama practitioner and is at the heart of almost all acting. Students will study both the theory and the practice of his work, introducing this into their final projects.
These classes are designed to introduce students to acting or expand on any previous experience they may have. Classes will also encourage them to open up to being connected within an ensemble and to put all the skills learnt throughout the term into their final project.
This may well be the first taste of drama your son or daughter experiences and this is why we have a Full Refund Policy1 after the first lesson should this class not be right for them. Our teachers also provide reports at the end of each term. As a member of the 16-18 year old class, you will benefit from a 10% discount on any future workshops and masterclasses we may hold.
