Dear Parents,
My name is Faye Rigopoulou and I’ll be teaching Performing Arts for the fifth year here in HIS. Performing Arts is a profound and important part of any child’s education and the skills learned and experienced through Music and Drama classes will probably affect and certainly improve your child’s abilities in many areas of their life.
Through their school journey in Performing Arts they will develop their creativity and confidence, promote their self-discipline and self-motivation, improve their memorizing skills and their English language skills and deal with unexpected situations through learning the wonderful self-generated problem solving procedure.
Best of all, they will expose themselves to art and culture building a strong sophisticated cultural background which will add enjoyment, depth and meaning to both personal lives and professional work as adults.
I am very happy to announce that this year we will include some Dance classes, offering to our Elementary students the chance to experience the course of the Performing Arts in its whole form.
Please, make sure that your child wears comfortable clothes (or PE uniform) for the Drama Class. (Skirts are not recommended) and don’t forget to remind your child to bring the PA folder from the previous years.
Drama Club:
Our HIS ED Drama Club has performed with absolute success the past years famous full length Broadway productions such as, “The Beauty and the Beast”, “Annie”, “Matilda” and the smashing theatrical hit “The School of Rock”
Although this year we will not perform a major show, our Drama Club is happily accepting new applications from Grades 4, 5 and 6. There will be an entry audition, including a song and a small monologue of their personal choice.
This does not apply for the returning Drama Club members.
The auditions will be private and will be arranged via email.
Our Drama Club blog’s address is:
Looking forward to a fabulous and creative school year!
Sincerely yours,
Faye Rigopoulou
