What better way to spend your Saturday morning than making new friends at CBW's Academy...

SENIOR DRAMA

This course is for those who love to perform but prefer to concentrate solely on acting without singing and dance. It is ideal for those new to drama as it will help them to develop their confidence and creativity (integral for any actor) as well as equip them with acting and team working skills. More experienced performers also benefit, as small class sizes and individual attention encourage them to develop and flourish. All students acquire not only invaluable performance techniques, but also skills that stand them in good stead for the rest of their lives.
