Connecting Through Creativity

Project: Connecting through connectivity

Company: tangled feet

tangled feet will be your resident theatre company for a week.

Each morning, in a space in your school, we will plan, evaluate and develop our methodology as practitioners, as well as research how the workshop could create a performance made for, and by, primary age children.

Each afternoon we will work with a group of children and engage them in a drama workshop to explore ideas of communication and connectivity through play and creation.

We will run one after-school session with teachers as training on using drama and a chance to incorporate staff ideas into the process.

The project will implement the structures inherent in dramatherapy, focusing on the ideas of therapeutic theatre and process orientated work. We are interested to investigate a drama model that could, in the future, see the company tour a process-focused set of workshops and performances to local primary schools.

Where: In-school

Duration: one week, five afternoon sessions with the children, one after-school session with teachers
