“Action Arts has had a very significant impact on my 6 yr old daughter’s confidence. When she started the classes, she struggled to say her own name in front of the class, so l was overcome to see her go on stage and even say a line all by herself at the end of the year. Week by week through the use of music, fun and games, Aoife & Freya supported her in expressing herself both through her actions and her words. She now thoroughly enjoys being able to perform and I can see the confidence she has gained spill over into other parts of her life. I highly recommend Action Arts and we are so glad we found it!”

“Both of my kids have enjoyed attending Action Arts. It’s great for their ability to express themselves and their confidence to perform in public. The highlight is the annual show at the Mermaid Theatre which gives them an enormous sense of pride and support for one other. The staff are brilliant with the kids and so professional. I highly recommend Action Arts as a post school activity.”

“My daughter has been attending action arts classes for the last 6 years, she absolutely loves it! We have seen her progress so much over the years, her confidence acting and singing during the shows has improved so much each year! Hazel (previously), Aoife, Freya and the Action Arts team are all amazing with the boys and girls and they always manage to put together a fantastic show at the end of the term that we all really enjoy and we look forward to seeing each year!!”

“This is our 4th year with Action Arts Stage School and our daughter loves it. The level of professionalism in teaching is excellent and the confidence the kids get is amazing. Weekly classes are fun and we look forward to every Tuesday class. Aoife and all the staff are very patient and understanding to kids of different personalities.  The show every May is the icing on the cake and kids beam on the stage. Thank you Action Arts for a great organisation.”

“Our three boys have attended Action Arts since Junior Infants and have thoroughly enjoyed their experience. Aoife and the team do amazing work with the kids and we would highly recommend Action Arts. From preparing for the exam to the fabulous show that is produced each year, our kids have come on so much in their confidence and creativity. Thanks Aoife and all the team for everything you do for our kids and we look forward to many more years of our boys attending Action Arts.”

“My son is living his best life in this amazing drama group. Brilliantly run by Aoife and with incredible support from her team Lola and Freya. They are so kind and patient and encouraging with all the children throughout the year. Huge support through the Drama exams and the amazing yearly show in the Mermaid theatre. My son has learned so much and become more confident speaking and on the stage. He is thoroughly enjoying every minute.”

“I really like going to action arts because I get to express myself”

– Siofra, student 

“My two kids love the Action Arts classes. They have loads of fun while also learning lots. As far as I can tell, they don’t even realise that they’re developing new skills or getting more confident as they’re having so much fun along the way and are being supported so amazingly by Aoife and Freya. It’s also brilliant to see them performing on stage in the Mermaid at the end of term.”

– Ciara

“I really don’t know where to begin to describe the impact Action Arts has had on our son’s life. Aoife and her team have been a pillar of support since he joined aged 6. At the time he joined he was very shy, wouldn’t really interact with other kids let alone adults. After many hospital stays through illness and surgeries and bullying in school he lost confidence in not only himself but people in general. Through Action Arts he has grown so much, his confidence is beaming and we are delighted to have our boy back again. I don’t think I can ever put into words what you have done to help our boy. I just hope you know how much we appreciate you and how much he loves and TRUSTS you all. THANK YOU SO MUCH”

“I love the songs and I like the games and I like doing the drama exam because we get to choose a poem and I like poems.”

– Daragh, Student

“My son has been a part of the drama class for 4 years. It has done wonders for his confidence and focus. The determination he puts into learning his piece for his exam is amazing and is really attributed to the fantastic teachers in Action Arts! He loves the end of year show and it really is a huge achievement for the group to produce a brilliant show at the end of each year! He has loved the class from the start.”

– Niamh

“This is my 10 year old daughter’s fourth year with Action Arts and each year she loves it more and more. The excitement about what drama they will perform is great and we can see her confidence grow every year. Huge thanks to Aoife and all the team for the incredible work and effort they put into the classes and the year end performance.”
