Playful Spaces: The Classroom as Rehearsal Room

Over the course of the day we will investigate how creativity can engage learners and reintroduce joy to your teaching practice.

We aim to bring the rehearsal room to the classroom with practice from across the theatre making and education sectors. Through this collaborative process we'll unlock fresh approaches to creativity and provide opportunities for teachers...and learners.

In preparation for this, please give some thought to the following question:

‘In terms of engaging learners, what the biggest challenge for you at the moment?’

From here and, with guidance from our expert, experienced facilitators, we'll ask you to create an enquiry question for the day based on your needs, helping you get the most out of the masterclasses.

After each masterclass, there will be time for a Q&A, helping you to see possible solutions to your challenges.

What you'll need to get the most out of the day:

  • A reusable bottle of water (lunch and snacks will be provided)
  • Wear comfortable clothing
  • A notebook and pen and/or electronic tablet - whatever you feel more comfortable using
  • An open mind and a collaborative approach to problem solving
