Please note: This workshop is designed specifically for children who are currently in Junior School (Year 3 and above). While we understand that some Year 2 children may already have turned seven, our One Day Little Performers session is usually a better fit for them. The workshop runs at a pace and level of independence that we find can be challenging for Year 2s to comfortably keep up with.
A Play in 3 days 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 3 days, the group will create their own version of Horrible Histories inspired by these quirky and bonkers view of history in the Roman and/or Greek period. They 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 … and maybe learn a bit of history along the way!
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
Bring Horrible Histories to life – acting out the funniest, grossest, and most outrageous tales of the Romans & Greeks!
There is no limit to what can be achieved; who knows what strange and wonderful battles and characters can be created and what worlds their audiences will be transported to?
Not only will they received 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.
