What do the kids do and learn at The Ultimate Holiday Drama Workshop?

Let me share with you more about this school holiday drama workshop. I have been running this workshop since 1987! I know, I know. That’s a long time. Trust me, my team and I  know how to get the most out of your child and give them a fabulous, creative experience. 
What’s the 3 Step Program?

l

Step 1

LEARN THE SKILLS NEEDED TO CREATE STORIES FOR PERFORMANCE.
On Monday and Tuesday, students cover a variety of performance skills including the use of their voices, bodies and imagination.

    l

    Step 2

    CREATE A PERFORMANCE FROM THE MELTING POT OF IDEAS.
    On Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday, students begin the creation process utilising the skills they gained in the first couple of days of our workshops.

      l

      Step 3

      PERFORM FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
      Our workshops deliver a unique opportunity for children to learn and apply their skills to create their performances. Our workshops are organic to let your child’s imagination run wild. Which allows students to dip into their creativity to produce new scripts for a magical performance.

        My 10-year-old has been attending Hennessy Speech and Drama since she was 5 and absolutely loves it. She attends both the weekly program and the school holiday workshops. I'd initially signed her up as she's very shy and wasn't comfortable speaking up in class. In those 5 years, she has signed up for every holiday workshop and made sure I've enrolled her in every term. Her confidence levels have soared and she has competed in many Eisteddfods as well as had the opportunity to compete in Short Sharp Theatre productions. She enjoys the holiday workshops as it enables her to use her imagination and portray many different characters and make new friends. She loves all of her teachers and now wants to become a stage actress.

        Why Our Drama Workshops Are Different

        At Hennessy Speech & Drama Studio, we don’t simply hand students a script and ask them to rehearse a performance.

        Our workshops are immersive, interactive experiences where students become active creators, problem-solvers and storytellers.

        Whether they’re stranded on Survivor Island, solving a mystery, or embarking on a creative adventure, students work collaboratively to develop characters, overcome challenges, devise scenes, solve problems and present their ideas. Every activity is designed to encourage imagination, communication, teamwork and confidence.

        Through improvisation, public speaking, creative thinking and drama-based challenges, students learn to:

        • Think on their feet
        • Work effectively with others
        • Express their ideas with confidence
        • Develop leadership and problem-solving skills
        • Build creativity and resilience

        Rather than focusing on a final performance, our ONE DAY  workshops emphasise the process of creating, allowing every child to contribute, take risks and discover their unique voice in a supportive environment.

        The result is a day that feels like an adventure while developing valuable life skills that extend far beyond the stage.
