Speech Bubbles theatre group was established by Tom Godfrey in 1992. Its aim is to stimulate and motivate young learners and speakers of English through the use of drama.
An hour to act, an hour to sing, an hour to dance – alifetime to perform! We have classes for three hours on Saturday mornings from 9:30 – 12:30.
At Speech Bubbles we teach children, teenagers and adults how to sing, dance and act, not only to perform on stage and beyond, but more importantly to perform better in life.
For almost 25 years Speech Bubbles have been performing in order to support charities focussed on supporting children and education. We have seen young people gain confidence, stretch themselves, and build essential life skills while learning the tools to sing, dance, act and, most importantly, have fun!
Suitable for ALL abilities and ages, Speech Bubbles School of Performing Arts offers the chance to pursue a career in the arts or simply just to learn some new skills to share with friends and family.
