Young Performers Programme

For School Grade HKG - 1

MUMBAI

Young Performers Programme

This programme explores foundational skills of speech & drama, use of voice and body, imagination, and group work. It also offers opportunities to perform in front of a safe audience and warm up to performing on stage. The students, as a group, take the Trinity College London - Young Performers Certificate (Group) Examination as one of the milestones for their learning.

Speech and drama skills (Performing Art) are learnt and developed over time and we allow the student to take their time to grow and also encourage all the ways to express themselves. Each learner is unique and has their own growth journey. You may reach out to us at any time during the programme to know more about the student’s progress.
