About DramEd

Empowering Performers, Enriching Education

Founded in 2019 by Grace Francis, DramEd is a beacon for performers seeking to transform their passion into a sustainable career. As an actress, entrepreneur, and mother of three, Grace has first-hand experience of the struggles performers face—balancing the unpredictability of casting calls with the need for financial stability.

At DramEd, we are dedicated to making high-quality performing arts education accessible to all children. We focus not just on those from affluent backgrounds but particularly on supporting underserved communities. Our programs are designed to cater to children aged 2 to 11 years, with a special emphasis on the early years (0-5) where foundational skills are developed.

Our Mission: Creating Opportunities

We provide performers from all walks of life, with the tools to develop valuable business and teaching skills. Whether you are a lounge singer between gigs, a dancer on a break from touring, or an actor waiting for the next big role, DramEd offers you a platform to leverage your unique talents in a rewarding way—teaching the next generation through engaging, educational performing arts sessions.

Our licensed performers deliver a wide range of workshops and after-school clubs, employing a curriculum that merges play with education—enhancing literacy, numeracy, and social skills through drama, dance, and music.
