This unique workshop gives your students the opportunity to take part in a group storytelling experience in order to create a unique piece of devised theatre based on transition… in just one day! Beginning each session with an exploration into the themes associated with moving on from Primary to Secondary school, groups will investigate both the challenges and highlights of starting afresh. They will then use this information as a stimulus for creating the beginning, middle or end of an overall ‘transition’ story that documents their own thoughts and anxieties about new beginnings, as well as celebrating their time at Primary school and hopes for the future in KS3. Finally, all groups are invited back together at the end of the school day in order to share their stories with their peers and/or parents and guardians, all assisted by our Bigfoot facilitator.
The day includes 4 x 1 hour workshops for 4 selected Year 6 groups, culminating in an end of day sharing.
