Workshops
We are experienced workshop facilitators for both children and adults and can tailor sessions for ages 7+. As a company we have delivered workshops for Shakespeare’s Birthplace Trust, Barbican Theatre Plymouth, Marjon University and others. We tailor all our workshops to your needs, providing fun and playful sessions where everyone can get involved.
Additionally, we offer workshops alongside our productions which have been devised to accompany the shows. These can be delivered to enhance the experience, develop skills and have fun!
Our standard workshops are:
“I liked it all, it was amazing! I learnt about Greece at school but it was much better learning about it here.””

Fairytales & Other Assorted Nonsense
This workshop is available for two age groups

This workshop explores different elements of comedy using fairytales as a basis. It uses drama games and short scripts to allow participants the opportunity to develop their own fairytale story. Suitable for all experiences.
Ages 15 - 18 -
This workshop is based on the co-creation process we delivered with Barbican Theatre, Plymouth. It uses a mix of improv and devising to develop theatre skills. It is suitable for those with no experience of acting but will be more beneficial to those already involved with drama, either in school or youth theatre.
