​

AT THE DRAMA LAB, THE CONTENT OF THE CLASSES IS DESIGNED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF EACH STUDENT- WHETHER MENTORED IN ENSEMBLE GROUPS, PAIRS OR TAUGHT AS INDIVIDUALS. THE OVERARCHING IDEA WHICH INFORMS THE COACHING IS THAT THE STUDENTS ARE PEOPLE FIRST!

THEY MUST BE STEERED TO KNOW THEIR WORTH. THIS IS THE ASSIGNMENT OF THE MENTORS AT THE DRAMA LAB.

THIS IDEA HAS BECOME OUR RALLYING CRY.         

"KNOW YOUR WORTH"

REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT THE LABSTERS WORK IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY ONE DAY, WE WANT THEM TO UNDERSTAND THEIR UNIQUE VALUE. WE WANT THEM TO KNOW THAT IN A COMPETITIVE INDUSTRY AND WORLD, THEY WILL NEED TO FACE REJECTION AND STILL KNOW THEIR WORTH. WE START NOW!

​

THE TRAINING INCORPORATES ALL ASPECTS OF THEATRE ARTS.

​

THESE INCLUDE ACTING, SINGING, DANCING/MOVEMENT, VOICE, BODY, CHARACTERIZATION, IMPROVISATION, TEXTUAL EXPLORATION, INTERNAL MOTIVATION, AUDITION AND EXAMINATION PREPARATION AND MUCH MORE.

​

TO INTRODUCE FOCUS AND STRUCTURE, ALL PUPILS WHO ARE REGISTERED WITH THE DRAMA LAB ARE REQUIRED TO DO EXAMINATIONS WITH TRINITY COLLEGE LONDON AS EXAMINING BODY. THE ASPECTS LAID OUT IN THE EXAMINATION OUTLINE WILL DICTATE THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THEORY AND PRACTICAL CLASSES.
