Join us this Summer Term 2024
At 4.45pm – 5.45pm at The Merlin Theatre on Monday 29th April 2024 for 9 weeks. Final session Monday 8th July 2024.
NOTE: We will not be running sessions during the half term break.
IMPORTANT: We will not be running a session on Monday 6th May as it is a bank holiday.
A creative drama class for 11 – 13’s. This class is designed to get everyone working together to figure out a response to a puzzling dramatic situation. Together we aim to help children gain confidence by putting the story at the heart of the sessions, helping them to immerse themselves and fully engage with the scenario.
At the end of term we share our work with an audience of parents. We are fortunate to hold our classes on the Merlin Theatre stage. This provides an inspirational setting and helps us to both create an atmosphere and to introduce performance elements.
We began working together in January 2022 and so far have explored a drama about a child who arrives at their cousin’s house for a meal, only to discover that they and all their furniture have vanished. More recently, we have developed a story called the Phantom Stagecoach about strange sounds heard through the night in a Wild West town. This autumn we have worked on a Murder Mystery at Bath Manor! Who dunnit?!
We are a responsive Drama company, dedicated to helping children create and and realise ideas from their own imagination, leading to a performance at the end of term, which we will aim to share. Please register below.
A BIT MORE ABOUT US…
At DK we follow the mantra ‘Just Be’. For us this encompasses the idea that all students will be accepted for what they are. It also provides a strong link to well-being. We aim to help our students achieve mental stillness and awareness of self and others within the workshop space and stage in order to help them develop their improvisation skills.
DK classes involve collaborative improvisation, intrigue and problem solving. The student is at the heart of everything we do and we see it as our mission to help to individuals to find their own voice by being enabled to work without inhibition in a safe environment in which their ideas are given prominence and shape.
We also engender effective team building through the vehicle of drama/theatre and the immersive approach we take. We are developing links with Fair Frome and local schools, offering assisted places in order to reach out to members of the community who may have less experience of drama and theatre.
