TRINITY SPEECH & DRAMA CLASSES AT HYT
Trinity Speech & Drama classes are separate from the usual HYT classes but are offered to any student enrolled with us and taught by our tutor, Di Mason. They are a formal but fun approach to learning key acting and performance skills with options for working as a solo actor, working in pairs with a partner or working as part of a group. A student in a Trinity Class focuses on preparing for a drama exam which they undertake in October.

Students are able to choose the type of Speech & Drama activity & exam category that they would like to be involved in:
