This full day workshop is designed to inspire those
who teach any aspect of performing arts curriculum
in schools and colleges. The focus is on physical
theatre practices and ensemble devising methods.
Teachers will develop skills and knowledge of
creative processes used by companies such as
Gecko, Frantic Assembly, Complicite and Paper
Birds. These workshops will build confidence in
pedagogical approaches to physical theatre and
ensemble work with particular regard to safe
practice and consent.
