A sensory explanation of the tale of Macbeth. A simplified narrative which focuses on the key characters in the story. Using a range of sensory props we re-create the witches' chanting and potions, look at the demise of the 'Macbeths' and how the battle was won. More suitable for KS2 and beyond due to the nature of this tragic play - there will be blood (or water with red colouring in it!). Our Artsmark-accredited workshops help those who are sensory seekers to explore subjects through performance and interaction. All of our workshops take the format of a very simple narrative exploring the particular theme. We work to a basic framework but are guided by the pupil’s responses, taking time with each individual and making an offer of engagement. If they choose to accept the offer, we help them explore that particular sensory element. We provide social visual stories ahead of the workshop to help your learners prepare for our visit. For a fee, we can create a bespoke themed workshops
