About Drama Discovery Course
Our beginners drama course for ages 7–11 will introduce children to the foundations of acting, through weekly classes that will build confidence, communication and social skills, support self-expression and unleash creativity.
Classes will include vocal and physical movement exercises, drama games, improvisation and text.
Starting at 9am and finishing at 11am, students on the Drama Discovery Course will have one hour, 45 minutes of lesson time (with a 15 minute break)
Perfect for beginners, those who simply want to spend a few hours exploring their imagination with newfound friends or are thinking about taking their passion for drama a step further.
Drama students will come together with music and production arts students to create innovative performances. These will be staged at the centre and other arts venues.
Fees
£275 per term (£27.50 per week)
Payment schedule
Course fees are payable on a termly basis. When a student enrols mid-term, any fees will be adjusted to cover the sessions enrolled for. Please see our term dates for information.
Five-Week Trial Period
All new students benefit from a five-week trial period (payable) upon joining. This means you’ll only pay for the initial five weeks instead of committing to a full term, giving you time to decide if GYA King’s Cross is the right fit for you.
After the five week-trial period
- If you decide to continue: The remaining term fees will be invoiced.
- If you choose to withdraw: No further fees will be charged.
The five-week deposit/trail payment is non-refundable and non-transferable. See more information on our finance and funding page.
