Schools and community
These workshops are aimed at Schools with students coming from south Asian cultural backgrounds and schools who wish to explore this areana as part of thier drama/performing arts programme.
We believe that the arts offer a unique way to work with each other. Drama and theatre can:
• develop communication skills • develop cultural literacy • celebrate our similarities and differences • Enable an understanding of time and place • To develop an understanding of the diverse and complex global culture we are part of
We can offer bespoke services to your school or education organisation. Here we have given you some sample programmes that we offer.
• Exploring The Mahabharata • Exploring The Ramayana • Contemporary plays with representations of Asian and ethnic minority characters • Poems of Tagore • Tagore's plays • History of Indian Theatre( lecture & discussion based) • Bollywood Dance
We also offer the following longer workshops:
5 week programme
Unleashing Creativity
Each workshop will last an hour and will be useful for pupils not used to working using drama. We will use games and improvisation in the early sessions and end the course exploring a short piece of text.
Developing oracy through practical drama.
This series of one hour workshops uses drama games and improvisation exercises in order to develop oracy and presentation skills. The work will focus on vocal and physical expression and will avoid working on the representation of other human beings. At the end of the 5 weeks students will give a group presentation to demonstrate and celebrate their developing skills.
