shake & stir drama classes are a fantastic extra-curricular activity proven to strengthen your child’s performance and communication skills, raise their self confidence and increase their level of physical activity. We believe that students learn in many different ways, and through drama & acting students can gain invaluable real life skills such as listening, flexibility, resilience, kinaesthetic learning, teamwork, confidence & friendship building – all which apply in school and last well into adulthood.

Planned by shake & stir’s full time Education Manager (& qualified drama teacher), shake & stir classes are structured on a term-by-term basis, which consist of different theatre modules studied over the school year. These include Characterisation, Improvisation, Clowning, Ensemble, Script Work, Musical Theatre, Shakespeare, Puppetry and Group Devised Pieces, your child will have a creative time interacting with new friends and working with enthusiastic young professional actors. Each shake & stir instructor has extensive professional experience working with children in theatre, film & TV and hold current blue cards.

With over 12 years experience in teaching and performance making, shake & stir classes are sure to be the highlight of your child’s week!

Classes are broken up into three levels depending on each student’s age, allowing us to tailor the program to each child’s stage of development – Level 1 (Prep – Grade 2), Level 2 (Grade 3 and 4) and Level 3 (Grade 5 and 6).  Numbers are limited to ensure your child receives individual attention and has the best opportunity to strut their stuff and have their own moment in the spotlight!
