We can provide three main services for schools and colleges they are Shows, workshops and classes. I shall describe each one in turn

·         Shows: These can be designed for whatever the school requires. We can create a performance to fit in with national curriculum, this can be especially useful for hard to teach concepts such as Shakespeare, and many scientific principles. We can do specified scenes or the whole show depending on time constraints and customer needs. With our performance we include a workshop with Q&A session either before or after the production, this can be to discuss plot synopsis, character evaluation, scene evaluation or even talk about the author or style of acting. We can also create shows for subjects in PSE, which are often hard to teach and difficult to approach, we can create a piece of theatre for comedic effect or shock factor depending upon your requirements. The theatre we create can have varying degrees of audience participation from a sit and watch show all the way through to complete audience involvement with them deciding upon the direction of the play. We believe that this style of theatre helps young people to visualize the choices they make and are then able to examine the consequences in a safe way. These can be shown to any number of students dependent on the size of the venue.

·         Workshops: These are aimed at smaller groups than full out shows. Workshops are aimed to promote imagination and creative and analytical thinking. They work on the basis of improvisation around a subject you wish us to discuss/examine. We will include some set scenes if this is appropriate and aid and guide discussions. We will promote young people to form their own opinions yet be open to others. These can be very useful for developing a fun and unusual approach to an apparently dull subject. We can create worksheets and follow up plans to continue with what was learnt.

·         Classes: These can be supplied to a school either after school or during lunch breaks. These can be great extra curricula activities which will help children develop extra skill sets. The classes we supply are very age dependent as we all realize that different age groups learn more effectively in different methods. However they do have a common aim, these include increasing skills in communication, team building, confidence, inclusion, trust and ultimately to be fun. For the younger age groups we will set out to achieve our goals via structured play, games and improvisation, finally moving on to small simple scripts in key stages 2. These classes will be held by professional actors. We will bring in freelance staff to do special classes such as movement, ensemble singing, physical theatre and mask work. For older students of secondary school and college age we will focus on the methods of acting and types and genres of theatre from musicals to classical and absurd theatre.  We will work closely with students to promote a sense of belonging and unity and to help develop team work and trust among the group. Again they will have opportunity to work with guest directors, set designers and choreographers to compliment there growth in performing.
