Benefits of Speech and Drama Class

Dear Parent,

Your child has recently joined us in one of our fun and exciting new speech and drama classes, which they enjoyed thoroughly. This class was only a demonstration of what will happen during the course of the year. If you should be interested in having your child attend these classes please fill in the attached reply slips and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

As Drama Specialists, with qualifications which are positively seen around the globe, we feel the need to help and let each of our students make the progress and reach their best potential. We tend to work in small amounts of classes, if allowed, and take special care of working with the individual as well as improving their group work skills. Each and every child is unique, so we tend to focus on their needs by specifically working on their improvement in speech or co-ordination or whatever it is they may be struggling with. We use poetry and fun group activities to help out students excel in their own way. For kids lacking confidence, we help them by slowly giving them enough courage and motivation to communicate with other kids. We build their relationships and make them feel safe and secure, and that they can openly and freely expect their desires and feelings.

Children with speech problems or where we focus on voice, we use poetry and stories to fuel and enrich their mind, allowing them to be creative and come to an agreement of which ways will help them improve their speech.

Our main focus is English, as this is the language that the whole world communicates in. We are aware that in South Africa there are many different cultural influences and dialects that we come across every day. We do not want to change the way your child speaks, we only want them to be able to communicate and be able to express their thoughts and feelings in an easy way.

Our drama classes can also help young aspiring actors and help lead them and improve their acting abilities, this is however not our main priority or concern

I hope that I have opened your eyes about the positive effects and attributes we can give your child.

Feel free to contact the school for more details,

A Little Girl Named Boo

Drama Doodle and Dee

I am currently in the Process of Marketing and Advertising my New Company! At a tender 21 years of age, I came up with the idea of starting my own Drama-Academy! With a Speech and Drama background, it seemed fitting to take this route! However, 4 days after I Graduated from a Private College in Observatory, Cape Town, I took a big jet plane to New York City! 

I was an Au Pair to one of the best families I have ever met, and now lucky enough to be a part of! I cared for, played along with and tried to inspire a beautiful little girl named Boo! She was a mere 18 months old when I arrived, and will be 3 and a half when I leave to go back home to South Africa!

She is the main reason behind Drama Doodle. I noticed this growth and exponential development when I introduced Yoga and my easy Speech Exercises to her! Within a few days of doing the tongue-rolls, drills and warm-ups, she started to repeat words and sounds! It was magnificent to watch!

I then decided to do a few courses on Yoga in the Preschool - I was already a Yoga Practitioner, and thought this would even be for personal gain!

Thus, Drama Doodle was born! It is now a Traveling School Set to Open in Johannesburg, South Africa in October 2013! We specialize in classes for Babies, Toddlers and Children Younger than 5 years old!

Our Subjects are: Yoga, Speech and Drama, Music and Movement!
