Performing Arts
Speech & Drama (with or without staged performance)
SYNOPSIS
BAFEL’s speech and Drama programme is like no other. So what’s unique about our programme, you ask? Well, we bring acting and performance techniques from London’s West End. Our programme curators (both actors in the UK and Singapore) constantly update the curriculum to make it relevant to today’s generation. Secondly, we sync media into performance techniques which allows students to carry on engaging with their devices whilst learning new performance skills.
The classes will provide participants with several fundamental abilities, including self-esteem, confidence, creative thinking, choral reading, acting skills, public speaking skills, as well as leadership and teamwork skills. As students participate in our drama enrichment program and stage actual performances, they build confidence and learn to think more creatively. That foundation can have a dramatic impact on academic, personal, and professional success!
OBJECTIVES
- Learn performance techniques

Reader’s Theatre
SYNOPSIS
Reader’s Theater allows children the luxury of lingering over a story; acting it out many times so they come to understand all its nuances,” as Judy Freeman, a children’s literature consultant explains. “Too often, children read a story and only understand it at its most superficial literal level. With Reader’s Theater, they’re not just reading a story; they’re living it.” BAFEL’s programme lives this philosophy. Participants are made to read, articulate and enact stories whilst picking up essential speech skills.
BAFEL’s Reader’s Theater strategy blends students’ desire to perform with their need for oral reading practice. This programme offers an entertaining and engaging means of improving fluency and enhancing comprehension, which benefits students in their oratorical test.
