Bigfoot provides an inclusive performing arts summer school enrichment programme where students can realise their full potential and watch their creativity and confidence soar!!
We understand the pressure schools are facing to help students achieve academically, and so we are keen to provide a variety of fun interactive learning opportunities that can compliment this. From one day workshops designed to inject some creativity into your week, to more targeted sessions exploring Mental Health & Wellbeing.
Bigfoot is perfectly placed to help your students ENJOY, CREATE and ACHIEVE with their peers to the very best of their ability. Every school is different and there is no ‘one size fits’ all approach when booking creative activities. With this is mind, our approach is very flexible; whether you are in need of a single day of workshops, or the use of an entire teaching team for a whole week, we are confident that our professional arts facilitators can deliver.
ONE DAY VISITS
Our one day visits are designed to be delivered to multiple classes or groups throughout the day. However, they can also be tailored according to each school’s specific needs so that smaller groups can benefit from more targeted intervention. Content options range from ‘Specialist Skills’ workshops, to those focused on ‘Mental Health & Wellbeing’ or ‘Transition’. Classes will work with 1-2 Bigfooters throughout the day and will be challenged to engage with
the chosen topic both individually and as a whole group.
HOLIDAY COURSES
Our one week, drama focussed holiday courses will see your students create an original piece of theatre to be performed live, or filmed, at the end of the course. Students will be guided by Bigfoot’s creative team of working arts professionals (to include a Director, Assistant Director, and Course Coordinator) in order to use their own ideas, stories and imaginations to create work that reflects their personal experiences. A topic, text or theme will be used as a stimulus; either pre-selected or chosen with the students. Working as a team to create something from scratch will see your students thrive whilst developing confidence, communication and co-operation skills.
