We use improvisation, encourage creative imagination, movement skills, emotional wellbeing activities and speech training to help children interact socially, make new friends and to feel confident and good about themselves. These important life skills can be learned and practised through drama.
Principal, Caryn, was presented with the Inspiration Award in July 2024 for inspiring children and fellow franchisees alike. She was Franchisee of the Year in 2022.
Children of all abilities, personalities and levels of interest are given the opportunity to explore and develop at their own rate with Drama Kids York and North Yorkshire. Given time, shy children learn to overcome their shyness. More extrovert children love to express their wilder creative side. You can't get it wrong in our drama classes!
We run classes for children from age 5 onwards with Youth Theatre classes for children at secondary school up to the age of 18.
The fully supportive and friendly environment means that all our children feel comfortable very quickly and enjoy our classes hugely.
We are not a stage school, but a unique, energetic and positive Academy, with a carefully-structured curriculum promoting self-development, self-expression and emotional wellbeing through group-based activities. Working in groups also teaches children how to co-operate with others, contribute ideas, compromise and reach agreement.
Mime and Movement allows children to discover non-verbal expression skills. They learn how facial expressions and body language can enhance speech and how what they say and how they say it can affect the listener. Improvisation in our sessions allows children to try out different responses to given scenarios. By channelling their energies in this drama setting, we are able to stimulate their imaginations, encourage creativity and teach awareness of others.
