Education
We regularly hold workshops and residencies in schools with participants aged 9 up to A-level standard.
Workshops are always practical and participatory. Each session usually lasts around 2 hours and may be seen as a one off independent initiative or part of a longer course. All courses are tailored to suit the particular need of the group of from 5-50 participants.
For the past 13 years we have been doing an annual two week residency in Harrow Way Community School in Andover. This includes rehearsing a Shakespeare play with 15-16 year olds and running time tabled syllabus workshops with year 9 pupils. These residencies have been highly valued by the school. See their website for pictures of the projects over the years:
One day workshops for Shakespeare set texts are also very popular, and really help to bring the play alive for the students.
Fees are always negotiable but on average workshops or residencies cost £150 a day or £75 for a three hour session. To discuss the possibilities please email our education co-ordinator Aimee Corbett on (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
