Beginners
Ages 3 to School year 2 (age 7)
This is the introduction stage to the magical world of theatre. At this level we use games and exercises to embed foundational skills. The classes are designed to be fun and free to allow students to slowly learn the discipline and confidence required to progress through theatre training at Talking Props.

Term One | Preparation
September to December
The preparation term is exactly that. We lock ourselves away in the studio each week teaching students the technical skills they need in each discipline of singing dancing and acting.
Towards the second half of this term we begin working on our projects for next term.
Term Two - Practice
January to April
Here we put our students onto small scale performance situations, a chance to practice their craft prior to the big show in term three.
We kick off this term by finishing rehearsals and then performing in our first set of performance projects.
Term Three | Performance
May to July
A lot of time is dedicated to staging our musical. Acting and Dance students will still have technical classes but we switch to production for the final few weeks.
Our main show is ran by professionals, thats a the band, crew and creatives. Giving students the highest quality show possible.
Students who take Musical Theatre classes will all perform in our show week, this is usually the last week of term in July and takes place at The Rose Theatre
Your fees are paid monthly over 12 months of the year, when you join you will pay a deposit equal to one months tuition, this is not refundable. Talking Props trades 37 weeks of the academic year. Six of these weeks (two in January and four in June/July), we come off of our advertised timetable and switch to what we call 'Production weeks'. These weeks include final show rehearsals, technical and dress rehearsals and the performances themselves.
