A development programme targeting adults who wish to develop confidence and communication skills will begin in October.

The Helen O’Grady Academy adult classes aim to offer a stimulating and energetic programme which has been specifically developed to provide a positive, fun learning environment in which to develop creativity as well as improve confidence, presentation and communication skills.

“So many people would love to have the confidence to contribute more at meetings, argue effectively and strike up conversations at parties but they don’t know how to go about it,” said academy principal Alan Montanaro.

“With our adult classes, we can give students – no matter what age – ongoing confidence and improved skills in verbal communication in a fun-filled environment.”

Tuition will include a series of theatre exercises, improvisation, workshops and exercises aimed at improving speech and posture.

The standard of improvisation and workshops will be determined by the group but topics, discussions and feedback will be at an adult level.

“I’m very excited to be able to teach adults these skills as I know, from personal experience and from offering similar classes in the UK, just how effective and rewarding they can be,” said drama therapist Holly Harbour, who will be running the adult programme in Malta.
