Benefits for Schools

Making Fiends
Working together in Drama club creates strong bonds amongst students because they are sharing ideas and working together to achieve the same outcome. And through this process they are laughing, learning and growing together week after week after week!
Memory
Through creative play, repetition, rehearsing, performing words, movement, and cues strengthen the memory muscle.
Physical Fitness
The physical movement in drama improves control and balance, coordination and flexibility.
Self-Discipline
The play-making process of moving from ideas to actions to performing (for each other) teaches students the value of practice and perseverance. With the combination of Drama and Theatre exercises with creative movement students improve their self-control.
Emotional Outlet
Creative drama and Dramatic Play allow students to express an array of emotions. Aggression, tension and anxiety are released in a safe, controlled environment, reducing antisocial behaviours.
Relaxation
Activities and exercises reduce stress by releasing mental, physical and emotional tension.
Self-Confidence
Encouraging students to take risks in drama class and performing for one another teaches students to trust their ideas and abilities. The confidence gained in drama class applies to school, career and developing life skills.
Empathy
Students get to pretend and play different characters through vocal expression and through their body language. They get the opportunity to role-play different situations, time periods and cultures. This promotes compassion, tolerance and understanding for other people’s feelings and points

What Teachers Say:
We were very lucky to have Adrienne as our Drama teacher for five weeks. My 3rd class at Monkstown Educate Together National School really enjoyed the drama classes. They were varied and the students built up a great level of self-confidence. My students had project presentations to do in front of their peers and they were certainly more polished performances after their time with Adrienne. She was very professional and had a lovely rapport and manner with the children. She had excellent classroom management, which are very much needed in holding a drama class. We would love to have her back to our school for more interesting drama classes.
Donal Patterson Third Class Teacher at Monkstown Educate Together National School
Adrienne spent one day a week, for 12 weeks in Scoil Mhuire, NS in Oct – Dec. She taught all six class groups and the children looked forward to the classes. Adrienne prepared a concert item with each of the groups and produced these in Scoil Mhuire’s Christmas concert on 21st December. Discipline and focusing the children on their work was achieved very effectively. Areas of the Drama Curriculum were taught and the pupils derived great benefit.

Adrienne was an excellent and popular teacher when she worked for us at the Limerick School of Acting and we wish her all the best in her new venture.

Adrienne, thank you for your excellent workshops.
Drama SocDIT, Bolton Street
Adrienne substituted classes for students of mine from age 3 to 17. Her outgoing personality, intelligence, determination and passion for teaching children gave me a sense of ease and I was certain that they were in safe hands in my absence. I wasn’t disappointed. The children were encouraged and challenged and afterwards she provided me with a meticulous breakdown of topics covered throughout each session and how the children responded. I would certainly call on her again.

Learning Through Play

Play is one of the main ways in which children learn and develop. It helps to build self worth, self awareness by giving a child a sense of his or her own abilities and to feel good about themselves. … Through this, they can learn essential skills such as problem solving, working with others, sharing and much more

Play is a central ingredient in learning, allowing children to imitate adult behaviors, practice motor skills, process emotional events, and learn much about their world. One thing play is not, is frivolous.

Play-based learning is a type of early childhood education based on child-led and open-ended play. … Play-based learning helps children develop social skills, motivation to learn, and even language and numeracy skills. Taking initiative, focused attention, and curiosity about the world are all a part of play.
