Take it from someone who has been involved in amateur theatre since the age of 5 - it's fun! New shows each term, new people to talk to, new songs to learn, and dances to perfect. It keeps you interested, on your toes and is uplifting every week to see how much you've achieved. Then you do the performance and it's exhilarating being on stage and showing the audience what you've learned. The applause at the end of a show is always well deserved and each child knows that they have helped to bring about such a successful production!![]()

As for life skills, learning to work with a different group of people each term is going to help develop a child's sense of identity, so they can be themselves all the time. Performing helps to give a sense of confidence to even the shyest of children; having confidence as an adult and a teen will help to ensure confidence in their abilities for the rest of their life. And who knows, skills they pick up during their time at a theatre school might pay off big time when they get older. ![]()

So, now you know. Theatre is a wonderful world of learning and expression, and I reckon every child has the right to try it at least once. Go ahead and make 2022 that year of possibility for your child!![]()

Children sometimes have difficulty coming out of their shell into the little person they are. Theatre can help them to develop their sense of self and identity by simply allowing them to be expressive and creative in a safe environment.![]()

Tools such as improvisation and interpretive dance can often help a child overcome barriers of who they "should" be as opposed to who they are. Shy children often find that acting is a great release for them; taking on another character can help them to feel safer in being more outspoken and over time this feeling of safety can migrate into their everyday life.

Many children don't know what they are capable of, and need the chance to explore new skills. Perhaps your child is not a skilled singer, but has a keen eye for dance moves. Perhaps they love kapa haka at school but have never tried acting. Theatre will help to bring out your child's best singing voice, characerisation skills and develop their physicality further. If they haven't explored these avenues yet, then theatre is a safe place to do so, because everyone else is in the same boat. You never know, your child might be the next Broadway performer!

Performing can help children be more confident. Getting up on stage in front of a group of people is going to prove to them they can do things they didn't know they could do. Even if your child already has a good sense of it, theatre classes will help to grow and maintain their confidence in a safe environment. ![]()

Good self confidence is a life skill not many people have from a young age. We believe it's very important for a child to believe in themselves as early as possible so that adulthood is much easier to navigate!
