Welcome back to the New Year at ADS

We hope you had a very Happy New Year!
A big welcome back to all continuing students and families.

A warm welcome to all new students and their families.

We were extremely happy with last term’s productions at Doncaster Playhouse Theatre and were very proud of all of our students.  Mostly we just loved seeing the children having lots of fun up on stage, in front of their family and friends.

2012 is looking to be an exciting year for Action Drama Studio (ADS) as we continue to grow and expand.  We will be offering a few new services this year such as professional development for teachers and weekend workshops for adults.  We will also be launching a new website and starting an acting agency for youth and adults.

About ADS
We teach through a reward system and positive reinforcement.  We teach new skills and offer positive suggestions, whilst avoiding criticism.
We custom design the curriculum to suit the particular children in each class.
Every class is fast paced and fun.

Introducing ‘Action Acting Agency’
In February 2012 we will be opening an acting agency for youth and adults only.  This decision has come out of a need for our interested students to be represented for work with an agent they can trust, who will not overcharge them, who is familiar with their talents and understands what they have to offer.  As ADS staff have worked as professional actors, we have the knowledge and understanding of the industry to enable us to effectively represent our members.

Demonstrations and performances
At the last lesson of  Terms 1 and 2, all parents and friends are welcome to come to the studio and watch a student demonstration so you can see the types of activities we do at  ADS. More info will be given closer to the day.
At the end of Term 4, parents and friends will be invited to see their child in a class play, held at a theatre.  Students start preparing for this performance half way through Term 3.
