The Jam - Art & Drama
The Jam - Art & Drama runs sessions for children aged 8-13 at CARA Hall in Raheny, Dublin 5, combining art and drama into a single creative programme. Rather than separating the two disciplines, sessions typically build toward a character or theme, giving children the chance to rehearse and perform a scene while also creating artwork connected to it. It's a good fit for children who enjoy both performing and making things, offering a broader creative outlet than a drama-only or art-only class. This Raheny session is part of The Jam's wider programme of art and drama classes and camps across North Dublin.
