Shakespeare Workshop
Many students find it hard to engage with classical play texts; for some it can seem like a foreign language. Our Shakespeare Workshop allows students to approach the text from a performance point of view. After all, Shakespeare’s works were intended for the stage not to be read at a desk! Focusing on the examination text of your choice, we can tailor a workshop to meet the needs and level of your students. Our Shakespeare Workshop is above all designed to be fun and engaging. We explore themes and passages in an interactive performance based context, which leaves students with a positive experience of tackling Shakespeare’s work: an experience which leaves them better equipped for GCSE and A Level exams.
Musical Theatre Workshop
In this exciting workshop, students will dive into the vibrant world of Musical Theatre, developing and refining their acting, singing, and dancing skills through energetic, hands-on sessions. With creativity and teamwork at the heart of the experience, students will collaborate to rehearse and perform a ‘musical in a day’ — a fast-paced, fun-filled challenge that brings the magic of the stage to life in just a few hours.
Whether you’re a seasoned performer or brand new to the stage, everyone will have a chance to shine — and for those who wish, the day will end with a live showcase performance in front of a small audience, celebrating the incredible talent and effort of the group.
Introduction To Drama Workshop
This workshop is aimed at schools that have little or no drama provision and maybe those that lack the expertise or confidence within their staff to provide an initial experience of performance. We give students a fun and positive introduction through popular drama games that helps to set aside any nerves or reticence. We then move on to some improvisation and group work before concluding the day with a small piece of devised performance. This day is a great way to discover hidden talent and build transferable skills in those less confident.
Confidence Building and Public Speaking Workshop
Most people will face the challenge of speaking in public at some point in their lives. There are few jobs where being able to communicate one’s thoughts verbally is not an essential part of the role, whether that is to three people or three hundred, the principles and techniques for delivering an effective message are the same. In this workshop, pupils will learn the key techniques in preparing and presenting a speech of their own. We examine the three key areas of public speaking; Body Language, Voice and Content. At the end of the session, students will have the chance to present their own pitch/speech to an audience.
