Education & Learning Programmes

“Every part of the workshop was fantastic. Johnny developed a positive relationship with the students and created a space where all students felt comfortable to dance and explore movement.”

~ Mrs G Berlyn (Head of Dance and Drama) ~ Hillcrest School

This January our brand-new learning and participation offer kicked off! As a great start to the new year we had the pleasure of running a puppetry workshop for  Drama and Performing Arts Scholars at The King’s School.

We also continued to work with university students at BCU on puppetry and movement workshops.

In addition, our dance Artist Will Hodson, who you might remember from our ‘Parade – The Giant Wheel’ cast, has been very busy running dance workshop with Year 11 GCSE students at Colton Hills Community School, Wolverhampton.

“A great experience for students that challenged them with their thinking, reflections and building connections to the stimulus. Supported students in use of varying motif development and continually talked through thought process enabling students to fully understand choices and reasons for movement content in relation to the stimulus.”

~ Mrs R Jones (Teacher) ~ Colton Hills School

We’ve been hard at work crafting programmes tailored to meet the unique needs of Primary & Secondary Schools, as well as Colleges & Universities. 

We pride ourselves on working inclusively and have experienced workshop leaders who can support those students with additional needs. All our workshop leaders have up to date DBS and public liability insurance.
