This class provides learners with a chance to develop their creativity and ability to craft stories and communicate their own experiences and ideas using theatrical technique. With a firm focus on building confidence and communication skills, Creative Performance enables leaners to explore their individual creativity and through a series of imaginative and lively sessions. These sessions focus on different areas of creative performance including (but not limited to) improvisation and devising skills, comedy performance, clowning, puppetry and story-telling through song. 

This is a chance for students to tell their own stories, and create their own narratives. A chance for them to perhaps share an amazing sense of humour, or even just share in a giggle with a group of supportive peers. It also gives learners a chance to express themselves through sound, rhythm and music - expanding on the idea of communication and finding your voice.
