The Benefits of Theatre Training for Children and Young Adults

Theatre training has many benefits for children and young adults beyond the obvious ones such as improving and broadening their skills and technique and their readiness for live theatre performances. Theatre training includes acting, singing and dance classes.

Theatre training provides an unparalleled platform from which young performers can explore their own creativity in an environment where their creativity is encouraged and celebrated. This relaxed and supportive environment enables many students to tap into their own hidden talents which have never before been given the opportunity of expression. Students reading and presentation skills are often improved as a consequence of their theatre training.

An open and inclusive teaching environment, a world away from the “classroom” helps to build performers confidence over time which cascades down to benefit all areas of their school, family and personal life. During even short periods of attendance students often form strong friendships with staff and pupils alike and that is one of the many factors that keep students returning.

Many of our courses culminate with an end of term theatre performance in front of a live audience of family and friends. This is often the most rewarding part of the process for students (and parents too) as students are able put into action the new skills and techniques they have gained during the course and enjoy the unique “buzz” and sense of achievement that comes from a successful live theatre performance.
