The Drama Hut School Workshop
Online Workshop Available!
Or we can visit your school in: All UK RegionsWhy book 'Roald Dahl- 12 days of Christmas' with The Drama Hut
On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me….. A Matilda in the library!This workshop is aimed at inspiring young writers over the festive season. Let our professional actor (and lover of all things Dahl) take the children on an adventure to explore the stories and characters created by one of the world’s favourite children’s authors. Using improvisation, role play and 'Fizz Whizzing' activities, this session is set to be 'Whoopsy Whiffling' and will be sure to get your children 'Squibbling' over the Christmas period!

Which Curriculum Subjects do you cater for?
English

Performing Arts

SEN
What size groups do you cater for?
We typically run 60-120 minute workshops with up to 30 children at any one time and can offer special day rates for multiple classes. We are also able to provide two different topics on the same day for different year groups.
How does safeguarding work for online workshops?
Online sessions are jointly hosted by the teacher and our actor and may or may not be recorded, depending on the preference of the school. Ideally workshops take place in a school hall with a large screen, however, they can also work extremely well in a classroom, with desks pushed aside. Our Risk Assessment document is available upon request and is updated regularly to comply with all current advice and guidelines.
What technology/devices/type of internet connection do schools need for an online workshop?
Online workshops are delivered live by professional actors and typically last 60-75 minutes each. They are structured in the same way as an on-site visit and have the advantage of utilising the benefits of technology – in particular, virtual backgrounds, enabling actors to transport children back in time, to any era or location. School will require a good internet connection and ideally a large screen to project our actor on to, so all the children have good visibility.
Do you offer access for visitors with disabilities?
Yes - the very nature of our workshops being so visual and experiential, has led to extremely positive feedback from teachers.
Do you cater for visitors with Special Educational Needs (SEN)?
Yes - children with special educational needs really benefit and enjoy our workshops.

Testimonial:
"Drama Hut have worked with our school on many occasions. Each time, the workshops have been well planned out- with teachers ideas in mind, well executed by very enthusiastic practitioners and have been thoroughly enjoyed by all children! Each workshop has engaged the children enormously, using original ideas that involve the children through practical games and activities. I would recommend this drama company to all schools."
