Music, Movement, Storybooks, Songs and Props create a magical and engaging world for the children, introducing your little ones to the to the world of drama & storytelling.

The props and items used during our lessons are fun, interactive and stimulating without being over whelming,  and ensure that each child’s curiosity and developmental needs are met. Children learn to socialize, share & play together with their peers and other adults in our Little Bees club.

This creative drama program is designed for babies and young children who are starting to observe and interact with the world around them. Children attend the lessons with a parent or a caregiver and are guaranteed a memorable experience! Older siblings are always welcome too!

We also run small group sessions in the comfort of your own home!  If you are interested in hosting a Little Bees club, then please get in touch with us!

Tokyo Bees Speech & Drama classes offers the Helen O’ Grady drama curriculum that focuses on developing vital life skills in children like confidence building, language and communication skills, effective social interaction, by tapping into the child's own creativity.

At each class, our emphasis is not on memorising lines and scripts but on the process of developing self confidence and nurturing the imagination through role plays, scenarios, improvisations and games. Children will also learn clear articulation & diction, through speech exercises, creative movement games, rhythm and rhyme.

Learning a language is so much more than just memorising vocabulary and grammar. Children learning english as a Second/ Foreign language may know a lot of words and sentences in english but lack the confidence to engage in conversations. 

In our ESL Drama classes, we focus on ENGLISH AS A MEANS OF COMMUNICATION  and facilitate the students to build confidence to speak, listen, express their ideas and take the first steps towards learning effective presentation skills. Incorporating Drama as a valuable teaching tool, the students get up and moving around and interacting with each other- making language learning more fun, relevant and appealing to all kinds of learners.

Games, show & tell, speech lines and  popular children’s story books play a vital role in our lessons thus building literacy, language  & communication skills.

Children love music, singing, dancing, acting, dressing up and putting on a show. Put it all together and we have a Musical! 

Our performance based musical theatre program encourages participants (both children & adults) to explore their passion for singing, dancing and acting in a safe, inclusive environment and enter a world of imagination, feeling, thinking and creativity.

Through improv, theatre games, voice techniques, and body awareness, participants develop their confidence, own their physical power and find their voices.

Short intensive projects are offered during the year and culminates in a final recital on stage with full costumes, lights, sound and an audience! 

12 Weeks of rehearsals are held on Saturdays and children must commit to the full term and the final recital.

This program is recommended for children who enjoy learning lines & performing in front of an audience. Children as young as 8 year olds can participate in the program.
