What we offer…

Drama in education trainings for teachers

  • Introduction to drama education – an introduction to the theory and practice – with an emphasis on practice – demonstrating the essential uses of drama as a tool for learning for teachers working in theatre and drama or across a range of subjects.
  • Different approaches to drama education – mapping out the difference in approach between pioneers in drama education (Heathcote, Bolton, Neelands, O’Neill) through examining their practice.
  • Bondian drama education – the potential for using Edward Bond’s approach to theatre in classroom drama.

Trainings for theatre practitioners

  • Educational practices linked to performances – training for actors and/or staff working with young people/children.
  • Course in Theatre in Education – for designing and implementing complex TIE programmes for different age-groups and different contexts.

Specialist advice in designing educational drama programs and research

  • With the successful implantation of a variety of drama and theatre education programs behind us, and a considerable amount of experience in research of different scope and approach, we can assist in designing new or evaluating and re-working existing programs to enhance effectiveness and  efficiency.

Drama education projects or theatre interventions for specific purposes in projects 

  • We design and execute drama based interventions in order to achieve specific aims outlined in projects. We have experience ranging from aiding civic youth projects to helping equity research with dramatic tools. We believe that any educational and artistic activity should take into consideration the specific context it is being implemented in. We adapt all our trainings in relation to specific needs and circumstances.
