2010 Ended Dramatically!!

Our End of Year Productions were an excellent end to a wonderful year of drama. These were held at the Howard College Theatre at the Durban campus of the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal.  We were very proud of all talented students and their fabulous teachers.

Drama is an investment!

The Helen O'Grady Drama Academy's principal in Durban taught the classes at the Bluff drama studio on the first day of spring. Many of our students have been with us for over 5 years because they love their drama classes. Their parents love the results they see in their children. Confidence, communication skills, creativity and social skills are just a few of the talents and abilities their children stand to gain by attending drama classes. Parents frequently remind us of the value our classes have for their children.

This is how to take a photo! Our Bluff students are professionals!

These enthusiastic students from our Junior Primary drama group simply never miss their lessons. They love acting. As one of our Introductory  Activities, the students had to take photographs of a camel. They were all taking wonderful photos until the smelly camel spat on them! Our drama classes on the Bluff are held at the Fynnlands Baptist Church on a Wednesday.

Westville North Library is the venue for our Saturday morning classes.

These happy and enthusiastic students have shown great development in their confidence and communication skills.
