what is speech and drama?
Speech & Drama is much more than acting.
At Ten Feet Tall, our Speech & Drama programme combines acting, public speaking, storytelling, drama, performance, and communication skills to help children become confident speakers and performers.
Through engaging activities, students learn how to express ideas clearly, communicate with confidence, think creatively, and perform with presence. Along the way, they develop skills that support success in the classroom, on stage, in leadership opportunities, and throughout life.
Whether your child loves performing or simply needs more confidence speaking in front of others, Speech & Drama provides a supportive environment where every student can grow.

Benefits of online classes:
- No travel or parking stress
- Easy to fit around busy family schedules
- Ideal for students who live outside our local class areas
- A comfortable environment for hesitant speakers
- Small-group coaching with regular speaking opportunities
