Learning

We work in schools as enquiry-led theatre makers.

​

We begin with a question, idea or theme and build creative work with pupils through collaboration and shared making. The process is structured but open-ended. The outcome is not pre-defined.

We make theatre with schools, not for them.

 

Right now we are working with a group of autistic girls using visual art and poetry to explore emotional wellbeing and communication. In another setting, pupils are devising work around radical joy: what it means, how it feels, how it can be expressed through movement, voice and performance.

 

Each project is different. The process is consistent. We begin with a question and build the work together.

We begin with difference. It is part of how the work is made, not something to work around.

 

"Parents are still giving feedback to me about how astonishing the Alice in Wonderland performance was. They said they have never seen anything like it. It really has left a legacy."

"Your work with the children is invaluable. The insight it provides into their strengths and passions is extremely useful for their transition to secondary."
