Teaching Curriculum Through Drama
by Ben Clarke

Location: Rehearsal Room
Duration: 20 Minutes

Ben has been focusing on teaching Key Stage 2 pupils curriculum topics through drama activities. Why drama? Well, I believe that creative approaches often lead to better learning outcomes for young people. Through this project, I’ve been exploring whether engaging young people through drama enhances their understanding and success.

Join me as I discuss the process and discoveries of this innovative teaching method. Let’s explore together how integrating drama into teaching can not only enhance learning but also be applicable to various aspects of life and work.

Perspectives Unfolded: An Elephant’s Tale – An Applied Theatre Project for Key Stage 2
by Bethany Scrimshaw

Location: Studio
Duration: 20 Minutes

Step into a space filled with fun and observe as the story of the elephant and the various perspectives of its world unfold. Learn about the findings so far from my applied theatre project, which includes a performance and a talk about a workshop that I am going to introduce to Key Stage 2 children. The underlying message in my performance is about understanding different perspectives. In my workshop, I will delve into this concept within the context of disabilities.
