History and Study Subject Workshops
The History and Study Subject Workshops are for children of both infant and junior ages. They can be conducted either in conjunction with any of our plays (click here to see a list of our plays), or as individual Workshops based on any chosen subject or period or character in history.
Examples are Stone Iron and Bronze Age, Castles and Knights, Vikings, Tudors, Elizabethans, Georgian, Victorian, Shakespeare, Dickens, Plague, Great Fire of London: even the Wars or Modern Britain. It is entirely your choice.
Workshop Delivery
Every Workshop that is not based on one of our plays will be introduced by an actor in costume to give an insight into the subject or period, and create the atmosphere.
In small groups of 4 or 5, the children will then be assisted and encouraged in creating and rehearsing short pieces that they will perform to the other groups.
As with all our Workshops, the emphasis will be on developing, watching, listening and creative skills, and the ability to work together.
We will include a brief "warm up" period and a short theatre game to ensure the children are in random mixed groups, and that they all participate.
