NGĀ ART - Te Whare Toi o Ngaaruawaahia

Performance Club 14 to 17 years

Performance Club is a fun, confidence‑building drama programme designed for young people aged 14 to 17 who are interested in acting, storytelling, and exploring their creativity in a supportive environment.

Across seven engaging sessions, students will learn the foundations of performance through theatre games, improvisation, script work, character development, and collaborative scene‑making. This programme helps rangatahi grow their confidence on and off the stage, build strong communication skills, and develop creative expression in a space where they feel safe, supported, and inspired.

By the end of the programme, students will be able to:

• Use their voices, gestures, and body language to create believable and dynamic characters
• Build meaningful connections with an audience
• Work confidently with others through theatre sports, drama games, and improvisation
• Develop storytelling skills using short scripts and original devised scenes
• Express themselves creatively while enjoying the process of theatre‑making

Perfect for: teens who are new to drama as well as those who already love performing.
