These are the ready to go workshops DramaWorks currently has on offer. If you are looking for something different, please contact us and we will design a workshop for you for no extra charge.

Kinder

The Aquarium - children work together to explore how sea creatures move and interact. They construct an "Aquarium" and become the sea creatures within it.

Moving Bodies - through the use of music, role play, props and imagination, the children discover how their bodies can tell stories and show emotion.

P-6

Intro to Drama - a fun workshop using drama games to experience the basics of drama including movement, expression, emotion, collaboration, creativity and characterisation.

The Green Crusaders - an environmental workshop which allows children to use drama to understand what our environment is, how we can look after it and why its protection is important.

Storytelling - students investigate what makes up a story, including archetypes, story structure and unconcentional storytelling. They then use their new skills to create and present their own story.

Set Design Project - a ten week programme for children to design their own set, costume, music, lighting and story culminating in a final performance. Recommended for years 4 and up.

Guest director - a term long programme to produce a musical or play performance for friends and family. Includes adaption or development of script, regular rehearsals, co-ordination of costume, set and prop creation and culminates in a professional style performance. Take the stress out of your production by getting a professional to do it!

Years 7-12

Intro to Impro - covers basic impro skills including giving and accepting offers, characterisation, narrative, conflict, justification and endowments.

Comedy - focusses discovering, breaking down and developing the elements of comedy using basic impro games and culminating in a final performance.

Absurdism - students develop a greater understanding of absurdism and existentialism through critical performance experience. Suitable as an introduction or advanced lesson.

Guest director - extended programme producing an original devised performance. Students work together to generate and develop ideas, devise a piece, rehearse and perform. Focus is high quality for both process and product.
