Teaching puppetry is one of my favourite things to do! Learning how to make a pen or some newspaper come to life is pure magic!

and while we’re talking magic…go see @totoroshow on the west end! Best thing I’ve ever seen on stage! (and I’ve seen a lot of things on stage!)

I took a recent group of GCSE Drama students to see Life of Pi for their live theatre review paper when it was on tour and it was FANTASTIC!

So much to write about for both design and acting!

If you haven’t seen it check it out on @nationaltheatre at home!

And if you’d like a video on how to answer a live theatre review question, drop the word ‘review’ in the comments 🎭🥳

I always tell my students (be that GCSE, A Level or LAMDA) that you only get to do your performance once, so enjoy it! Do it how you think it should be done! If the examiner doesn’t like it, at least you will be happy with your acting choices (and 🤫🤫 the examiner almost always enjoys it when you do this!)

It’s your stage and you deserve to be on it! So go for it!

🎭What are the most important benefits of Drama classes?

📚My absolute favourite quote is this one from To Kill A Mockingbird.
Harper Lee wasn’t writing about performing when she penned these words, but to me, they perfectly capture the magic of acting. 🪄✨
When we step into a character’s shoes🩰👟🥿👞👢⛸️, seeing the world through their eyes and feeling their experiences, we come away more open, more empathetic, and more well-rounded human beings. 🫂🥰

This is exactly why drama lessons for young people are so important and something that drives everything we do at Cyclorama Speech and Drama.

It’s why our students get outstanding LAMDA results, why they can captivate an audience on stage, and why they create work that has impact. Driven by doing. Community through Creativity.

✨ THIS IS YOUR SIGN ✨ to take your drama homework somewhere that makes you feel alive! 🌞🎭
Sometimes all you need to beat that ‘stuck’ feeling when studying is a change of scenery.
Whether you’re learning lines, revising theory, or tackling a tricky essay, your environment can make all the difference.
☀️ Fresh air = fresh focus.
🌳 New space = new inspiration.
📖 Try the garden, a park bench, or even your local theatre steps – you’ll be amazed how your creativity flows.

🎥 Filmed outside the iconic National Theatre – because drama deserves dramatic backdrops!
