In Term Two we’re exploring the theme of Connection. How do we connect to ourselves, each other, and the world around us? In a time when it’s so quick and easy to send messages, we’re having fun and focussing on real, human connection - listening, noticing, and responding. Drama can help us tune in to our own feelings, understand others, and make sure our stories and ideas truly land.

Teens Drama Ensemble – Discover and Devise (90 min)

Our teens dive into the world of performance with a focus on more complex games and exercises that challenge them to work collaboratively and creatively. They’ll work on developing their own original characters and scenes while also honing their performance skills through group and individual opportunities. With feedback and guidance from the tutor, teens will learn to build and sustain storylines throughout performances. The goal is to push boundaries, build confidence, and develop versatility, preparing them for whatever challenges they may face on stage or in life.

Tutors: Lauren Jackson & Natascha Diaz

BRICKWORKS DRAMA SCHOOL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Guidelines for Drama Class Please arrive to class 5 min early. Please send your child to drama in comfortable clothes that are easy to move in. Please bring a water bottle. Please remind younger children to visit the toilet before class.

Open Classes and Showings Parents are welcome to watch the first class, but after that please drop off your children and collect them at the end of class. This helps us create a focussed environment where the children don't feel the pressure of an audience. We will run Open Classes once a term that you are welcome to attend and observe. Photos and videos are only allowed to be taken on Open Class days. We will work towards a public showing of the students' work in Term 3.

Bring a Friend Week Week 3 of each term is "Bring a Friend" week. Students are invited to bring a friend (of appropriate class age) to try a Brickworks drama class for free! This policy does not apply in Term 3.

Missed Classes Please let us know if your child will be absent (no refunds or make-up sessions for missed classes).

Pick-Ups Please let us know who (besides the parent/caregiver) is authorised to pick up your child. If someone else is picking them up, or they are making their way home independently, please let us know.

Behavioural Guidelines Brickworks students are expected to:

Respect and listen to tutors and their classmates
Participate in class according to the tutor's instruction
Refrain from uninvited and unwelcome physical contact with classmates and tutors
Verbally communicate with classmates and tutors in a respectful manner

If the tutor, a classmate or a parent has concerns with the behaviour of a student (their child or someone else's) Lauren or Natascha will

make a time to speak in person with the student's parent or caregiver to try to resolve the matter. If the behaviour continues the parent or caregiver will be notified in an email, and the student given another chance (if deemed appropriate). If the behaviour continues subsequent to this step, the student will be removed from the class to either: a) take a break from drama for the rest of the term, returning the next term if deemed appropriate; or b) moved to a different class if deemed appropriate.

Payment Please make payment for the term ($110) by the end of Week 2. Payment details: Brickworks Drama School 03-1505-0013696-000 *Remember to add your childs name as a reference The credit card option is not yet available. Well add this preference via Enrolmysoon.

Free trial class

If our child is interested in drama, but unsure, you are welcome to try one class for free. The second time your child attends, you will need to enrol and pay the term's fees. We do not offer refunds if you discontinue classes partway through the term or go away on holiday, missing classes.

Re-enrolment process Please make sure that you pre-enrol for each term. There is no automatic re-enrolment for our regular students

Guidelines for the Holiday Workshops

Timetable for the Workshops

Each workshop is a self-contained day with a central theme. Our aim is to provide an exciting day where children will enhance their confidence, communication skills and teamwork through games and exercises taught by an experienced tutor and tutor's assistant. Each day will be divided as follows:

9:00 10:30am "Get-to-know-each-other" and warm-up activities that introduce the theme of the day. Introductions and explanation of the Holiday Workshop rules.

10:30 10:45am Morning tea

10:45 12:20pm First round of games and exercises around the day's theme. Exploration of ideas to develop for the end-of-day showing.

12:20 1:00pm Lunch and free time.

1:00 2:30pm Second round of games and exercises. Short craft activity related to the day's theme. Rehearsal for end-of-day showing.

2:30 3:00pm Showcase for parents and caregivers Notes for parents and caregivers Please send your child with a packed morning tea, lunch and a water bottle. Brickworks does not provide meals and snacks. Please send your child along in comfortable clothes that are easy to move in. Please send them with a hat and apply sunblock in the warmer seasons. Parents and caregivers are welcome to watch the 30 minute showcase at 2.30pm. This is not compulsory but you are welcome to come along and enjoy the childrens work. Parents are not expected to stay during the day. This helps us create a focussed environment where the children will interact with their peers more freely. Photos and videos are allowed to be taken during the 2.30pm showcase.

Tutors and assistants Brickworks drama tutors, Lauren, Marlon and Natascha will run the workshops each day. Well have one tutor and one assistant per group (if there are more than 10 students per group). The assistants are senior secondary and tertiary students with drama training, who will assist us with drama activities, craft activities and supervision during the breaks.

In the event of an emergency, 111 will be called.
