Schools
We offer schools a number of drama projects aimed at Key stages 1, 2 or 3, to help children explore a range of themes from the national curriculum. Please browse the options below and get in touch if you would like to discuss things more. Our prices for delivering sessions can be viewed by clicking on the costing and booking link.
1. A play in a day
Scene Change Theatre Company’s skilled workshop leaders will work together with the children through the rehearsal process covering acting skills, focus exercises, discussion forums, and interactive workshops, culminating in a performance with movement, costume and song. The day is an excellent way to explore a curriculum theme for KS2 or 3 that the school may have already introduced to the children or with a theme that they are meeting for the first time. Follow up materials are also available for each Play in a Day project. You can choose from any of the following Plays: The King’s Quest, Down To Earth, World To Rights and Free For All.
Check out this example of what a typical day looks like.
