Brisbane’s kindest drama school

Speak Up kids learn communication, speech and performance skills. We do this through carefully structured curriculum that steps students through a range of [developmentally appropriate] dramatic literature that engages and delights them.

Hey There!

If you’ve made it to our website, chances are you can sense a gap in your child’s learning journey that can’t quite be met in day-to-day primary school.

We help bridge the gap for kids who are full of songs and stories at home but quiet out in the world.

We offer simple weekly class that’s not going to take over your entire week. (ah-hem, dance)

Best of all, Speak Up is an activity that plenty of kids grow out of! Which is bloody brilliant as far as we’re concerned. With tiny classes (10-12 kids) and long waiting lists, we’re happy to send you on your way with a handful of skills and a pocket full of bravery. We’re proud to say we’re so good at what we do that we regularly work our way out of our job.

There are also the kids who grow up on our stage, who play Cheese in their first year and Puck in their last. The kids who’s mums we call when they seem down. The kids we’ve supported through meltdowns as five year olds, to discussions around consent in a theatrical context when they’re in high school. Those are the Speak Up kids who’ve made speak up the place it is today.

  • Our daughter has been doing Speak Up for the last two years. She has grown so much in confidence and self worth and looks forward to her class every week and her performances throughout the year. The teachers are kind, nurturing and supportive and I cannot recommend Speak Up enough for your children. We are so happy we took the plunge and enrolled our daughter in Speech and Drama classes.

  • I need to thank you again for Speak Up, it has been life-changing for me and without it I wouldn’t be the person I am today. Just being able to put your hand up in class and not be afraid to speak up or get it wrong is thrilling!
