Whilst we are all set for some hard earned holiday time, we are also busy planning for the next school year.
The experience we have gained over the past 24 years has taught us that it is not enough to just get up and perform for, as much as the children and teachers enjoy it, there is the need for some active hands on to ensure our messages get across.
The children love the excitement of live performances and never more so than when they feel part of it.
The emphasis today is for participation and interaction. Whenever possible, we will conduct one or more Drama Workshops as adjuncts to our plays. By watching the children enact their own pieces from what we have shown them we are assured a lesson has been learnt. Moreover, the feedback from the teachers clearly shows our visit has been worthwhile.
Not all our Drama Workshops are allied to our portfolio of plays. We have very many we conduct to emphasize a specific subject being taught. For example, we recently conducted a number on "The Black Death and Great Fire of London". Prior to those, we covered some Shakespeare works and excited the children with our "World War I" study. These are just a few of the many we have researched and produced. And, we are still adding more. In fact, just suggest a subject and we will rise to the occasion.
As tea time is fast approaching, I will leave you now as ever with some more pictures.
Until next time, Albert........
