The company has produced a number of successful ‘Bespoke’ drama days this term including workshops for pupils in key stage one and two as part of a ‘Health Week’ in Blackburn, a ‘Transition to Secondary School’ day for year six pupils in Balderstone, a ‘Gruffalo’ day for key stage one pupils and an ‘Allan Ahlberg’ day for pupils at a Bristol school.
The company hosted a summer holiday workshop based on ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ by William Shakespeare for pupils in Lancashire and a ‘Friendship’ workshop based on ‘The Devoted Friend’ by Oscar Wilde in Staffordshire. The workshops were extremely well attended by pupils aged between 6 and 11 who delighted friends and family with performances on the last afternoon.
