Play In A Day / Play in a Week
Our play in a day creative workshops can be used to learn about subjects, issues or topics, help with transitions, promote inclusion and help with revision.
The play or showing that is performed at the end of the day by your students is usually a 5-10 minute group piece using a variety of theatre techniques such as song, speech, stylised movement, dance, imagery and mime.
Parents, class mates, teachers and other student members are encouraged to watch the final piece at the end of the day.
Benefits of a play in a day include confidence building, teamwork, enhancing voice, performance and public speaking skills, introduces theatre and drama skills, improves concentration, gives a sense of achievement and empowerment and teaches students about specific topics, subjects and issues.
