funtYfuntY is a theatre training programme for children between the ages of 7 and 15. in this programme we introduce children to an exciting blend of basic acting, voice, story-telling, writing and poetry skills. this includes theatre exercises, voice exercises and writing exercises that help the child to develop skills in public speaking and expression. the above techniques are taught through solo exercises focusing on the individual, and group activities. special exercises are included that enhance the process of creative visualization as well. check out some testimonial from parents and children regarding their funtY classes!
