Thought I'd share some of the fun we had last year! Looking forward to seeing lots of DRAMA KIDS in Howard and Baltimore County again this year!

DKI Acting Academy for Teens
Our dynamic ACTING ACADEMY is open to all students attending middle school and high school. It attracts a wide range of young people, from those seeking to increase their confidence and speaking ability, to those hoping to pursue a career in theatre and media. The theatre arts program encompasses a five year cycle of curriculum providing young actors with a great diversity of material. As with the classes for 5 – 11 year olds, the developmental side of the program is still important, encouraging students to become confident, articulate communicators. However, the theatre arts side of the program in the ACTING ACADEMY is very comprehensive, covering spontaneous improvisation, voice production, small-group improvisation, mini-scripts, character analysis, open-ended dialogues, theatre games, radio plays, quick-fire dialogues, monologues and structured scenes. In the final term of each year, students begin work on a scripted production which is performed for a public audience. This is always a highlight of the year and reflects the talents and skills of students and their teachers. Last but not least, many lasting friendships are made through attending the ACTING ACADEMY.

WHY STUDENTS LOVE DRAMA KIDS CLASSES!
In some parts of the world, such as Australia, where the program first began in 1979, former students are now enrolling their own children so that they too can experience the vibrance, nurturing and personal growth that Drama Kids brings to all students. This is a great compliment to the power of the program!
We are proud to have founded the world’s biggest provider of developmental drama classes in the world. Is this the reason why students love classes? Of course not! They love classes because at every studio, worldwide, the teacher makes each student feel welcome and valued. On the first day of attendance a new student is warmly welcomed and then introduced to a student whose task it is to be their special friend and ease the transition into class. Students love to feel that they are part of something special! They need to know they are valued, included, empowered and encouraged. Drama Kids classes provide endless opportunities for creative involvement with their teacher and with one another.
Because there is such a vast curriculum, students never have a chance to become bored. There is always something new and exciting coming up at next week’s lesson! At every level, students are encouraged to participate fully in all activities. Individual progress is regularly acknowledged. The learning environment is warm and inclusive, providing a safe place to be, to have fun, to learn new skills, and to become more confident and empowered. Developmental drama does not exclude performance! Students experience the joy of performing regularly for their peers, their parents and, finally, for a public audience at the end of each year. The year end productions give students a chance to perform and such involvement creates special memories for them, their parents and friends.
There are no auditions to attend Drama Kids classes. Every child has special qualities and abilities which will be discovered during attendance and participation in this acclaimed program. Quite possibly, one of the biggest reasons students love the program is because their teachers love the program and genuinely care about each and every student participating in it!
