The focus is not about being on stage but being able to be confident in everyday situations, therefore a number of elements are used in class:-
- Empowerment & Confidence.
- Public Speaking.
- The use of imagination & memory.
- Drama & Acting.
- Speech & The Variation of Speech.
Each of the above is tailored to the students that are being taught.
Sinead thoroughly enjoys working with children and seeing the progression in their abilities and confidence. She produces, scripts and directs and ends year academic year with a show e.g. Empowerment – This Is Me, A Night of Fairy Tales, A Night of Musicals to name but a few.
