Workshop 1: Ages 7-10
An educational workshop exploring the subjects of identity, bullying, friendship and having belief in oneself. Through the use of games, image theatre, storytelling and group work, your students will explore the shows central themes while learning performance skills which build confidence and self-esteem, team-work and individual thought, and strong communication skills.

Workshop 2: Ages 11-15
Through interactive exercises, your students will explore the productions central themes of identity, individuality, bullying and ambition. This motivational workshop will encourage students to think independently, exploring their own hopes and dreams, and through team-work create performance pieces. Through character development, acting and singing techniques, these lessons will be put into practice in a performance of a song from the show at the end of the workshop.

Workshop 3: Age 16+
Ideal for GCSE level students upwards and performing arts students, this challenging workshop employs professional performance techniques involved with musical theatre including character development exercises, singing, physicality and gesture, scene studies and devising tasks to explore the shows central themes and characters, reflecting your students own fears, hopes and dreams.

Musical Theatre Masterclass: Experienced students with confidence only!
Tailored to your groups age and level of experience, this workshop gets you up and singing from the start. This is not a workshop for the inexperienced as it requires great commitment to performance with confidence – you’ll learn vocal and singing skills, character movement and physicality, and create your own choreography in addition to that taught by our workshop leaders. Reference will be made to the themes within the show through text and performance, but unlike the workshops above the central focus in this workshop is on creating performance.
