Key stages four and five

Revision Theatre

In these immersive workshops, your students will use drama studio techniques to develop a greater understanding of their GCSE plays.

By focusing on character development, pivotal scenes, and themes, your students will better understand the text and the historical context that shaped it. 

Plays offered include An Inspector Calls, MacBeth, Blood Brothers, and A Christmas Carol.

Revision Theatre is available as a 50-minute lesson or a full or half-day session.

Location: School hall, theatre, or sports hall.

Commedia dell’Arte

Journey to sixteenth-century Italy for Commedia dell’Arte, a theatrical tradition that still shines in today’s theatre and film.

These 50-minute sessions are bursting with movement, comedy, history, and creative drama exercises. Your pupils will meet an unforgettable cast of characters, discover the modern roles they’ve inspired, and have the opportunity to laugh, improvise, and create.

Sessions can be booked as a one-off experience or as a series, in which pupils focus on developing performance pieces and capturing them on film.

Location: School or sports hall, theatre, or drama studio.
