What is Solo Club?
The Solo club seeks to promote and develop communication skills including maintaining eye contact, open body language and the art of conversation and social interaction.
We want to empower every child, no matter what their background or social position with the tools, skills and confidence to be able to communicate and interact in every situation.
Classes encourage experimentation and imagination and are structured around games, music, songs and exercises that will not only develop children’s individual vocal skills, physical expression, movement and posture but also their collaborative skills and understanding. It complements the valuable lessons they learn in school and reinforces the four R’s of the curriculum – Reciprocity, Resilience, Reflective and Resourceful.
Solo Club is not about showcasing our children’s performing talents in an end of year show or public performance, rather, it is about nurturing and developing life skills for all their future social situations and interactions. However, clearly should the children wish to participate in performing arts/Christmas Shows, these classes will equip them with the fundamental tools for the stage and other mediums.
