ACT 3 Drama Academy, recognised for its highly educational yet entertaining programmes for children, dedicates its March Holiday Workshops (14 to 24 March 2016, selected dates) to the magical works of best-selling author and illustrator Oliver Jeffers, in sync with the Academy’s commitment to adapting material and dramatic scripts from quality children’s literature.
Oliver Jeffers, an award-winning children’s author from Belfast, is well-known for both his art and writing. The child is invited into his unique world of mixed media, subtle narrative and use of space in composition. The workshops are designed with a focus on imagination, creativity and the desire to play. Younger ones from 2 to 7 years old will learn how to convey thoughts and emotions. There will also be a performance at the end of the workshops for 3 to 7 year olds for that added boost of confidence.
