TERM 2 IS BLOSSOMING WITH POSITIVITY!

As Term 2 continues, the atmosphere in our classes is one of excitement and happiness. It's that time of year where positive comfortability has reached a maximum level between teachers and students in all of our classes. As Parents Day approaches, preparations have been made for our wonderful students to showcase their  fantastic development. This step in their development is vital as we will ask our beloved students to perform for the first time in front of an audience this year. This will be huge, especially that after the term, the classes will be getting ready for the big stage.

The Goal of Expression 

The importance of expression amongst our students continues this term, as Teachers and Students work to create a free play-space. Our Drama classes ask our students to find a balance between reality and fiction. Through imagination and creativity, skills needed in every day life start to develop. Skills, such as, confidence, communication skills, critical thinking, the ability to analyse as well as many others can be taken in any field of life to strengthen a personality towards success. Having a voice is a massive step of accomplishment that will ultimately lead to many other accomplishments later on in our students' lives. 

Helen O'Grady Rocking After-School Activities in New Cairo!

The Helen O'Grady Drama Academy is now holding 'After-School' classes for the New Cairo British International School & Modern Education School!

The students of these schools are having a blast exploring and learning through play. Our classes are giving them an opportunity to be on their feet and learn in ways that are completely different from a traditional school format. Our classes help them feel like they can express themselves as we help them with their confidence, self-esteem, communication & performance skills! 

We are very proud and happy to have these schools a part of our program along side our studio classes.

Why Developmental Drama is So Vital to a Child.

It was Plato, the infamous Greek Philosopher, who said "Life must be lived as play". At the Helen O'Grady Drama Academy, our classes are geared towards one direction: Discovery through Play.

Drama isn't just about acting. Drama is a tool that can be used to develop confidence, self-esteem, communication & performance skills.

Imagine a child who faces trouble speaking around strangers. Who tends to be quiet in situations that intimidate them. Now, imagine that same child guided by constant positive reinforcement, a safe environment, and constant challenges to their imagination that helps them let go and allow their personality to prevail. That is our goal at the Helen O'Grady Drama Academy.

We strive that our students do just that. Through Drama, we aim to relax the tensions placed upon a child's personality by giving them the opportunity to have a voice. The one way that we can do that is in a playful environment.

Once we show our students the endless roads of their imagination, their confidence automatically increases. Even Einstein declared "Imagination is more important than Knowledge".

All smiles and laughter, this class keeps our students engaged and gives them a chance to release some stress they may have from their hectic student lives.
