The best singing, drama and dance classes in Singapore
Conundrum Theatre for drama classes in Singapore
New Zealand-Australian theatre director and actor Claire Glenn founded Conundrum Theatre in 2020. Her aim is to cultivate the holistic development of children and young people through her personal passion of drama. Claire says that Conundrum embraces the uniqueness and diversity of young performers through inclusive drama classes for children and middle schoolers, and large-scale theatre productions for young people and emerging artists.
Participants will develop performance and theatre-making skills. At the same time, they have the freedom to be creative, express their views, learn about the world and themselves, forge lasting friendships. They’ll also cultivate a sense of belonging and boost self-confidence within a supportive and rigorous youth drama framework that includes both local and international professional theatre practices and artists.
Many Conundrum alumni have gone on to work as professional actors in film and television, attend drama schools, create their own shows or become drama teachers. The theatre purposely keeps its community small. This ensures that every artist knows every family and every student receives the most focused attention in a safe and supportive environment.
The company also tours overseas, with its first international showing in Adelaide in 2023. Ten students under the age of 17 from Conundrum were joined by four from Adelaide in a collaborative performance of The Evolution Revolution by Kimberly Sim. This August, it toured the Edinburgh Fringe with 13 young people aged between 13 and 19, performing Only Human by Sophia Simmons.
