YEARS 3-6*
Please note: These workshops are designed for children in Year 3 to Year 6. While the sessions run at a pace and structure suited to Junior School students, we understand that some 7-year-olds who are confident and due to start Year 3 in September may be ready to join us. If your child is in this situation, they may be able to manage the workshop well — however, we would encourage you to check with us first so we can help ensure it’s the right fit.
A Play in A Week is a fun-filled drama workshop offering children the opportunity to devise, rehearse and perform a play under the guidance of our experienced Drama Facilitators.
Throughout the week, the group will create their own version of Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. Will the rabbit ever be on time, will the Queen of Hearts roses get painted in time, will Alice ever find her way home? The students will develop characters, learn stagecraft skills, devise scenes to build their play for a performance on the final afternoon for families to enjoy. This process is designed to develop creative thinking, drama, and improvisation skills and build confidence and teamwork.
Through fun drama games, improvisation, and performance, children will:
Grow in confidence – speaking up, performing, and expressing themselves.
Learn drama skills – characterisation, movement, voice, and storytelling.
Work as a team – creating scenes together to create our play
Create and perform in their very own version of the story
Not only will they receive guidance and help from our Facilitators but they will be given props and costumes to help create the world of their play.
It will be a few days of building fun memories, learning new skills, and making new friends.
Due to limited spaces available, it is recommended that parents/guardians book early to avoid disappointment. Early bird and Sibling discount are available, simply email us at [email protected] for promo codes and booking information.
All children will need to bring is their willingness to get stuck in, their imagination, comfy clothing, and plenty of food and drink to keep their energy levels up.
Please note we are not a specialist SEND provision and the student should be comfortable learning in an energetic group environment. We regret that we cannot offer 121 support in group classes.
