Top Theatre in the Winelands

Helen O'Grady has cemented it's place in the heart of the Winelands with classes in Paarl, Somerset West, Wellington and Stellenbosch.

The Stellenbosch classes happen at the Klein Libertas Theatre where students are treated to a real theatre environment. With their teacher, Lize Goosen, students are exposed to lessons in speech, movement, improv and working with a script. The curriculum is standard around the world and practised at every Helen O' Grady Academy class.

Last week the class enjoyed an improv which sees last minute shoppers interact with supermarket workers keen to get their work done for the day. The result could be disastrous and full of humour.

Mime, ad lib, character depth and many other skills were taught
while teaching Late Night Shopping.

Classes take place at the Klein Libertas Theatre every Monday

Primary Composite class: 16:00 – 17:00

Youth Theatre class: 17:00-18:00

Stellenbosch had a fantastic Parents Day!

Together with their fantastic teacher, Jennifer, the children performed their annual parents day for family and friends in Stellenbosch. Here the children showed their excellent communication skills developed by the Academy. From speech to mime to improvisation, the children have really grown throughout the year.
