Redlands Young Actors Group
THE REDLAND YOUNG ACTORS GROUP is open to primary students from eight years of age and all high school students. Its objective is to provide a versatile program for children who love to perform and who wish to build their self-esteem, confidence, creative imagination and personal presentation. The program looks to develop clear speech, the use of body language, effective vocal expression, stagecraft, group communication and team work through interaction with others.
COMMITMENT to sport and other co-curricular activities can present a time problem for many parents and children today, for this reason the Redland Young Actors Group sought to provides a longer lesson once a month rather than shorter weekly sessions. Therefore the Redland Young Actors Group hold their drama workshops in an afternoon on the first Saturday of each month (with the exception of school holidays and the end of year production). The monthly workshops run for three hours, commencing at 1.30pm and conclude at 4.30pm.
THE FEE for the three hourly sessions is $30.00 per student, per month. Fees may be paid on the day of the workshop (correct money saves valuable lesson time) or one may pay online prior to each monthly session (see details below).
THE VENUE is the newly built Performing Arts Centre at Birkdale South Primary School. Parents and students are advised to approach the school via Barron Street, Birkdale. Park near the school sign, then follow the path which leads directly to the Performing Arts building. Preferred time of arrival is ten minutes prior to the lesson so fees may be paid and children are ready to commence.
REQUIREMENTS, all members of the Redland Young Actors Group are required to have a named drama folder, which they must bring along to every workshop, this saves scripts, letters to parents and notes being lost and replaced. Children also need to bring a water bottle and an afternoon snack. Comfortable clothes and shoes are essential for easy movement, girls should not wear skirts.
NEW STUDENTS may join at any time throughout the year. All new students are required to take part in a simple audition process. This involves a short, easy, one page reading which is presented on stage with a current member of the group; preparation time is given. If the student joins close to an upcoming show, they will still be included in the event. In August/September each year, students have the opportunity to enter the Redland Speech and Drama Eisteddfod.
