We deliver stand-alone workshops and regular residencies at schools, colleges, drama schools and universities in London, across the UK and internationally. 

We are passionate about creating and delivering exciting and engaging participatory experiences for students and young people, which are designed to enhance curriculum-based learning, as well as fostering a sense of openness, curiosity and play. 

We regularly collaborate with educational institutions to design workshops that are creative, practical and that make a meaningful contribution to students' learning.  

 

We often deliver educational workshops with the following themes:

Devising in the style of the practitioner / the Idiot approach to making theatre

Storytelling (find out more about our project Does Cinderella Have to Have Blonde Hair)

Devising through digital (find out more about our project Connected)

Clowning

Physical comedy 

Creating theatre without a script

Adapting work

Commedia dell'arte

Mask work

 

We also deliver CPD workshops for teachers and other practitioners working with young people. We are a proud Arts Award supporter and can offer workshops and other ways to engage with us, which help students to achieve their Arts Award at Bronze & Silver level.
