WHAT WE OFFER IN PRIMARY SCHOOLS

WORKSHOPS

From Shakespeare to Shaw, Marlowe to Priestley, our bespoke practical workshops will get your students up on their feet experiencing these wonderful works in an engaging and thought-provoking manner.

Our team of experienced facilitators and professional actors bring a range of techniques from the 'rehearsal room' to explore themes, characters, interpretation and use of language.

"Each character was performed with much understanding of the role so it made it easier to follow the storyline, therefore making it very entertaining." - Student from a recent workshop

Benefits for students include:

  • Improved confidence with written text.
  • Increased knowledge of 'text in performance'
  • Greater engagement in the classroom
  • Improvements when working with others and independently

We understand that not every school's timetable, students and needs are the same, so we can modify our workshops to suit your needs. Below is a range of different offerings, for KS1 & KS2.

"An absolutely fantastic day for all!" Loseley Fields "The children were absolutely buzzing" Manorfield School

Young people's first experience of Shakespeare can be a daunting one, and therefore it's all the more important that it's a positive one. By focussing on the narrative of the play, and how the characters are introduced, these fun, practical workshops get your students up on their feet and experiencing Shakespeare's wonderful creations in an interactive session. Pupils are left with an ownership and understanding of the play, and a desire to know more.
