Live Theatre Trips & Workshops

"The process, despite its challenges, has been thoroughly enjoyable and exciting. Thanks to this amazing project, not only have I been able to produce a full script, but all the participants have been granted the chance to express the views of a new generation” Shehzore Adil (Year 10)

The live theatre programme is supplemented by a series of workshops and seminars with industry professionals who share their knowledge of their craft and contemporary theatre practice, including, most recently, Timberlake Wertenbaker, Lesley Sharp, Jessica Swale, Matthew Spencer and Hara Yannas from Headlong, Mikey Brett (puppeteer and animator on War Horse, Gravity and The Muppets) and Zak Nemorin (choreographer and movement specialist).
