This workshop aims to raise students’ awareness of the use of their bodies and physicality in relation to theatrical performance. Students will be taken through a process of using their bodies and movements to devise and tell a story through performance.
Students will be encouraged to explore how drama and theatre can break away from naturalism and allow for open and engaging story telling. All students will be able to use physical theatre techniques to create a theatrical performance to share with each other. Most students will be able to successfully apply some detailed physical storytelling to future theatre work they create or participate in.
Each hour-long session caters for a class of up to 30 pupils from KS1 or KS2
