canvas bag drama school

11-02-2016 by Nina Strieker

Our daughter has attended drama classes with Felicity and Gina from 2013-2015. Felicity brings an unparalleled vibrancy to her classes with innovative idea's and imagination. Our daughter LOVED attending both classescand being involved with the canvas bsg theatre each year. The production nights are well organised and so much fun for the children and audience alike. Our daughter speaks confidently in front of school assemblies/speeches etc now which I'm sure canvas bag drama school has helped with.

Answer from Canvas Bag Drama School on 16-02-2016:

Thanks for posting. Drama has to be vibrant, even when it's introspective, and developing imagination is paramount to us as it expands across all aspects of a child's learning.

Canvas Bag Drama classes -outstanding in so many ways

03-02-2016 by Sue Bryden

My daughter has been enjoying Felicity Williams drama classes for the past 5 years and unlike so many after school activities for which her enthusiasm waxes and wanes these drama classes are a MUST do. Simply put, they are exceptional. Through them she has made wonderful friends, developed an extraordinary love iof language and performance and an ability to express herself as part of a team rather than as a pampered soloist. The quality of teaching is great, it's clearly fun and extends and encourages her imagination and self confidence. If we could chose only one after school activity it would be Canvas Bag Drama classes every time.

Answer from Canvas Bag Drama School on 03-02-2016:

Thank you for the positive feedback! We take great pride in providing experiences which enrich children's lives and hep them become compassionate and articulate human beings - a lot of this is due to improvisation games and having to see situations from all perspectives.
