Creativity- one of the most important skills to learn!

"Every child is an artist, the problem is staying an artist when you grow up” – Pablo Picasso

Creativity is one of those skills that in the past has been sorely under promoted, however this is starting to change. There is more and more evidence that developing this skill not only promotes a balanced and happier child but assists with development too.

At the Helen O Grady Drama Academy our unique programme enables our students, young and old, to harness their creativity. Through dramatic play, improvisation and role-playing we allow for the students to develop these vital creativity skills. Each week the learners are put into new, exciting and challenging situations that require the right brained, thinking out of the box approach. 

In this video can you see students from our Atlantis studio involved in an improvisation exercise where they must act on the spot in various situations.

Our classes positive atmosphere together with our trained teachers allow for the freedom of expression many do not get anywhere else. Here the students are not only allowed but encouraged to make so called 'wrong' choices as making these choices will inevitably lead to more choices which is quintessentially the creative process. 

This skill when nurtured helps people in everyday life situations as we are all involved in creative processes many many times throughout our daily activities'. Adding our once a week creative classes to your child's activities will not only help them to become confident and communicative individuals in all situations, but they will love the fun too!
