A passion for art, theatre and acting brought together a host of children aged 5-7 years at Masrah Al Qasba Theatre, in elocution and drama courses that will nurture their ambitions of becoming film, TV and theatre superstars.

 

The 60-minute training session featured an array of physical and intellectual activities that aimed to teach them body language and the standard methods of collective communication through team spirit.

 

The session helped the youngsters to discover and develop their concentration skills and enhance observation, intuition and focus. The trainer distributed short scripts to the children to try their first theatrical performance and nurture their skills of reading theatrical scripts while using the suitable body language and facial expressions.

 

The training courses organised by Al Qasba and presented by Centre Stage Arts, Speech and Drama, provide participants with an opportunity that enables them to take the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts (LAMDA) accredited acting examination for advanced courses. The courses target talented and ambitious children aged 5-16 years seeking a career in theatre, cinema or TV.
