Infant Workshops

Initially there will be a warm-up programme with several theatre games to exercise and energise the mind and body. This will be followed by the main workshop, which is designed to develop listening and creative skills. The children will be encouraged to either work alone or in small groups, dependent on their age, maturity and drama experience. The workshop is designed to focus on specific features of the play they have seen.

For example:
In Billy Beware! safety and imagination are the principle issues.
In The Hare & the Tortoise, friendship and morals.
In The Gingerbread Man, animals and awareness.

Through the use of repetition and visual stimulus the children are encouraged to think for themselves and create and develop scenes or characters. Movement, mime and interactivity all play an important part. The workshop concludes with the opportunity to question the actors, either specifically on their performances, or in a more general manner.

As stated, it is particularly rewarding if they are based on our current productions. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that workshops be booked in conjunction with one or more of our plays.
