an outreach workshop

 

Outreach projects where we come to you!

In 2008 we are offering schools and other organisations a range of workshops to book. We will tour to run the projects for your group of learning disabled young people and adults in a familiar environment.

You may be familiar with our Schools programme from previous years – it’s back in a new timeslot, and with totally new content as Boo Who?.  Intrigued? Read on!

Available by arrangement, This is Me is our interview training workshop for people who want to prepare for work or college interviews.

 

Boo Who?

5 weeks from 03 Nevember 2008
Performance during week of 1 December 2008

 

Boo Who? is inspired by our new touring show for 2009, Boo. It's the imagined story of the character Boo Radley from To Kill A Mockingbird.

In the Boo Who? workshops, students aged 16+ will take the scene where children throw stones at Boo Radley's house, and explore what it's like to be on both sides. What are we scared of? Why are we scared? Are we frightening other people?

This programme will consist of four 90-minute workshops and one performance over five weeks.

This year we start later in the autumn so the performance in Week 5 will be in our brand new studio. Students will show their hard work to all the participating schools.

There are just a few slots available for this year's Schools Programme. Don't miss out!

This is Me

by arrangement

 

This workshop was developed in consultation with schools in West Yorkshire, and has been successfully run over four years.

In this 90-minute workshop, participants use drama techniques to work on their self-awareness and self-presentation.

Particularly suitable for adults or older students considering work or college, the workshop helps participants prepare to present themselves in interviews.
