Theatre

Theatre

Our Theatre department continues to offer a number of different productions and workshops throughout the year. Mostly touring schools using professional actors and workshop leaders to focus on many of the issues that affect young people.

Many of our productions are also highly interactive seeking an involvement from audiences in aspects of the performance.

We also work in association with The Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts to provide school tours of Shakespeare plays and offer Shakespeare Masterclasses, where students are lead through an educational journey of the chosen play exploring the many and varied themes of the text. Audience members are then encouraged to redirect scenes according to their own interpretations and question each of the characters actions.

Community Theatre

We work in association with The Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts and run the Theatre in Education module for the third year of their Performing Arts course. This has resulted in a series of highly successful school tours of Shakespeare’s plays, performed by a large and talented cast. Past productions have included: A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Tempest, As You Like It, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet.

Workshops

Theatre practitioners employ drama techniques, dance, movement, puppetry and mask work, to explore a range of themes, in accordance with the needs of each group they work with.

We are always eager to devise new creative workshops to meet specific needs.

Masterclasses

The Shakespeare Masterclass workshops lead students through an educational journey of their chosen play, drawing out the many and varied themes of the text. Professional actors perform excerpts from the text, while audience members are encouraged to redirect scenes according to their own interpretations and question the characters as they are put in the hot-seat.
