Established in 2002, Artistic Expressions is a Speech and Drama school that supports and promotes creative work by and for young people. It is a place where students can let their imaginations soar, allow them to explore their creativity and learn the tools they need to express their thoughts and ideas.

The school specialises in providing Speech & Drama and Public Speaking Programmes to children, teens and adults. All programmes culminate to an international certification by the London Academy of Music & Dramatic Arts (LAMDA) and / or Trinity-Guildhall.

In addition, Artistic Expressions has a performing arm that is dedicated to nurturing the artistic talents of children and young adults. Recent performances by the company of actors include 108^th Sheep and Sam's Sandwich – productions that were held as part of Octoburst! – A festival held in celebration of Children’s Day, by Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay.
