Creative Drama Classes in 2026

Drama classes run by Thespianage are designed to teach theatre skills and experience. The tutor is Robyn Donnelly (BSc, DipDrama). Many who have been to these classes have subsequently appeared in, stage-managed, written, and directed for TheatreWorks and other theatre groups.

There are two classes to cater for differing maturity and abilities, running for nine weeks each term. The age range is 7 to 16 years.

The term dates for 2026 are:

Term 1
Tuesday 3 February to Wednesday 1 April

Term 2
Tuesday 21 April to Wednesday 17 June

Term 3
Tuesday 21 July to Wednesday 16 September

Term 4
Tuesday 13 October to Wednesday 9 December

The classes are taught from a creative, developmental aspect. We work a lot on teamwork, stimulating the imagination, improvisation, releasing inhibitions, harnessing this energy and focussing it towards creativity.

Through this process, characters and stories are created which are worked towards a presentable scenario, skit or play at the end of term, to be performed in the last class of the term. This also teaches stagecraft and performance skills.

We also work with already scripted works, having come to terms with characterisation and character background. There is also some theatre terminology and "who's who" in the production process thrown in.

We anticipate the classes to be both constructive and enjoyable. There will be room for play, but there is the need also for work to benefit from the classes. "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch!"
