Class/Act: “the curriculum alive”

A fun and engaging workshop for secondary school children during term-time, designed specifically to consolidate curriculum-linked learning (half day & full day workshops available)

Students will take part in fun warm-up exercises, create numerous short sketches and finally improvise and script their own curriculum-linked ‘play-in-a-day’. At the end of the workshop this play, built democratically by the students, is performed for invited friends and family or alternatively filmed on DVD.

The design of the day ensures cliques never form and the emphasis is always upon having fun and the free creative flow of ideas; the students are welcomed into a supportive environment where all get to contribute ideas and see them realised.

This is a great opportunity for students to tap into their natural creativity and develop the confidence to improve communication and social skills, as well as discover and encourage any emerging talent for acting or performance. It also brings your chosen texts to life therefore creating greater undertstanding in the classroom in preparation for exams.

Other skills developed include acting in groups, voice projection, listening ability and compromise.

The same workshop has been hosted with great success in Hong Kong, at both the 'German-Swiss International School' and 'The Island School' and has proved hugely important for young people’s classroom learing and personal development.
