workshop programmes
Play-making workshops that explore basic literacy skills through the physical process of developing a scenario. We also provide inset sessions to help teachers to develop the work themselves over a sustained period.

With Warwick Arts Centre we developed original work by Primary School children in Coventry, equipping the children with the tools to shape their ideas.
With the North Devon Theatres Trust we re-worked five Shakespeare plays, each involving around 50 Primary School children, 20 Secondary School pupils and a dozen College students. The productions were a theatrical feast and an exciting engament with Shakespeare.
With Arts and Learning we are delivering Extend, a programme that tailors performances and developmental work to the wants and needs of individual schools in and around Cambridge.
We regularly create prequels and sequels to our productions with primary school children and we recently created a companion piece to Beast! with 30 Year 11s and 12s from Suffolk and visiting students from Milwaukee.
