Alice through the looking Glass Workshop
The Drama Hut
School Workshop Online Workshop
During this workshop 'Alice' will lead the children to look 'through the looking glass' and use her experiences to discuss and explore how somethings in life aren't always as they seem. Sometimes things just don't make sense, but, thats ok! Sometimes, things aren't 'straight forward', but it's how we can tackle these situations that can make a huge difference. Through improvisation, role play, games and storytelling the children will be able to recreate characters and perform scenes within 'Alice's' story, exploring different character points of view and themes of friendship and resilience.

PSHE
>What size groups do we 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.
