- Children (6 to 12 years)
- Teenagers (13 to 18 years)
- Adults
The children are introduced to the subject with games. Later they learn to use gestures and facial expressions and to improvise. For the teenagers, expression is honed, they are introduced to the art of acting and the history of theatre.[10]
Performances
