creative and challenging drama club.
“A big
thank you for giving the children such a good time and teaching them so much.
We will certainly tell other schools how fantastic this was.”Headteacher.
Aims- To
forge greater links with local primary schools through working with them
over a longer period of time.
- To
provide a worthwhile outcome for the participants
- To
enable primary schools to use the Theatre’s staff and resources.
Outline Each
school will work with a Harrogate Theatre practitioner over 10 weeks in a 60
minute after school drama club. In the 11
th week the club are
invited to the Theatre to spend the afternoon touring our historic Victorian
building and rehearsing for an evening performance held in our intimate Studio Theatre
for friends and family.
Through
this work children will be able to build a lasting relationship with Harrogate
Theatre through having the opportunity to work with our skilled members of
staff and use the building for their own unique performance, complimented by
full lighting and sound support.
Participants
will build in confidence, creativity, teamwork and most importantly work
towards a tangible end product that they can be really proud of and share with
their friends and family in a free ticketed performance.
We work with a maximum of 4 schools per term on Monday - Thursday
afternoons.
