More information about us

My name is Antonia Fairmaid. I work with children who want to discover Speech and Drama, Communication and Trinity Guildhall examination courses. Each course provides a creative outlet, a safe environment to explore Drama and all it’s possibilities which includes improving communication, clarity, volume, tone and above all, confidence.

In the SPEAK UP creative-play/performance environment children are free to explore their own capabilities without fear of judgment and students feel they can be anyone and do anything. Discovering this ability within yourself at an early age is a gift. The confident child who communicates well, and believes in their own ability, is well placed for success at each level of development and as they enter their adult years.

For Children, Speech and Drama Class is just great fun. It’s a chance for students to move out from behind a desk and into a wonderful world of make believe. For many, this will be their first experience of not learning someone else’s idea’s but of creating their own and their confidence will quickly blossom.

For parents, the class is a wonderful learning tool. Targeted game playing, improvisation, storytelling, costuming and performance encourage social and academic development through exploring emotions, language, physicality and fun.

When we succeed in drama class, we succeed not only in creating a magical experience for a child, we succeed in putting in place the tools for academic achievement, social integration, and a happy and well rounded adult.
