It is the place to experience the different art forms and the chance to showcase the combination. I remember entering the world of WATA as a shy young boy, but soon the group became like a family, and eventually I found myself in leading roles and confident in all three art forms. Being around others who had inspiring talent and a similar interest & the fantastic teachers who navigated me with their professional experience, enabled me to develop and explore my abilities as an aspiring performer. The training also offered the ability to take part in additional classes and workshops where I could explore even further into the different forms, which led to the beginnings of my dance training with Penelope. I am now a professional dancer working internationally with renowned contemporary artists, leading a successful career. I thank WATA hugely for the encouragement it gave me and I would recommend it to anyone interested in the theatrical arts. Alex Standard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc7e1e006a5ea221df3f367/1573402734668-ATLHC1ZSURAXAU61CS8J/russell-ecclestone.jpg Student Testimonials - Russell Ecclestone Playwright, Actor I Joined WATA at a young age because I had an interest in the theatre and wanted to expand my skills and knowledge. From day one I felt extremely welcome despite not being able to talk to many people due to shyness and lack in confidence. Over the years my confidence grew immensely thanks to the nurturing nature of the professional tutors at the school and I now feel quite comfortable in new situations and talking to new people. I found the whole experience very helpful to me as a person and most importantly, it was fun, I enjoyed every second of it. Now that I am training to be a professional Actor at Bath Spa University I feel the first steps I took with Miss Penny and the wonderful people at the school really encouraged me to focus on this goal and I couldn't recommend it more highly. ALICE FLORENCE Musician, Singer Songwriter, Performer & Teacher "I have so much to thank for the years I spent learning from Penny. I was so lucky to experience dance and drama classes, for being exposed to musical theatre, drama, comedy and improvisation. It afforded me the space to really be myself which, as any teenager would tell you, is a very difficult thing to do. As a workshop facilitator, teacher and musician, I truly understand the value that Penny's classes added to my life; the musical skillset, the confidence to go on stage in front of a live audience and working as part of a creative team. Undoubtedly, I made friends and memories for life." https://www.wellsdrama.co.uk/summer-school daily 0.75 2026-03-01 https://www.wellsdrama.co.uk/drama-classes daily 0.75 2025-10-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc7e1e006a5ea221df3f367/bc6fa048-d3a9-4a32-9c54-8d3eefd2d0c8/AC3I0186.jpg Trinity Drama Classes https://www.wellsdrama.co.uk/baby-toddler-classes daily 0.75 2025-10-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc7e1e006a5ea221df3f367/0999df56-a4b0-457f-9dc1-bdb63c562dcd/Mini+Movers+Sept+25+Facebook.png Baby & Toddler Classes Our Booking page can be found here: Our new six week block runs from 5th November to 6th December Register and book a free trial for Mini Movers! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc7e1e006a5ea221df3f367/49a7bfc1-8961-4850-8093-1a90decfda3d/%C2%A35.00+per+family+NEW+TERM+STARTS+WEDNESDAY+5TH+NOVEMBER.png Baby & Toddler Classes Our booking page can be found here: New Term runs from 5th November to 6th December Register and book a free trial for Twinkly Tots https://www.wellsdrama.co.uk/toddler-baby-classes daily 0.75 2020-10-08 https://www.wellsdrama.co.uk/singing-lessons-with-katie-peters daily 0.75 2020-10-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc7e1e006a5ea221df3f367/1602170085604-XNI8VPRY6LDJGR2RIV6O/Katie+Peters+Singing+Tuition+%40THE+DRAMA+BARN+Info.png Singing Lessons with Katie Peters Contact us for full details of Katie’s availablity. https://www.wellsdrama.co.uk/general-1 daily 0.75 2022-01-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847902870-ZOUR0EX0L2QSQNRC1SP2/image-asset.jpeg General 1 - Make it stand out.
