Curse of the Mummy Workshop

We are passionate about making great theatre accessible for all children from all walks of life. We therefore produce shows designed to captivate children using engaging scenery and soundscapes, turning your hall into a theatre.
Our productions:
* Encourage performance skills: Students experience live theatre, developing an understanding of staging, character development and storytelling.
* Promote Creative Expression: Interactive elements allow students to participate, including an element of improvisation
* Enhance Understanding of Theatrical Techniques: Shows incorporate movement, voicework and staging methods
* Support Analysis and Evaluation: Post-performance discussions help students critique performances, improving their ability to analyse live theatre.
* Connect to Cross-Curricular Themes: Productions often integrate PSHE, literacy, and history, supporting drama as a tool for learning beyond the arts.

We provide high-quality, interactive theatre experiences that develop students' creative, technical, and analytical skills. Our performances support learning by:
* Enhancing Acting and Performance Skills: Students observe professional techniques, including voice work, physicality, and stage presence.
* Encouraging Creative Expression: Interactive elements allow students to engage with storytelling, improvisation, and character development.
* Teaching Theatrical Techniques: Productions demonstrate stagecraft, including lighting, sound, set design, and costume, providing insight into technical theatre.
* Developing Analytical and Reflective Skills: Post-show discussions encourage students to critique performances, analyse themes, and reflect on artistic choices by both performer and director.
* Supporting Collaboration and Communication: Workshops and interactive performances foster teamwork, problem-solving, and confidence in performance settings.

By combining live theatre with educational engagement, Shooting Star Entertainments helps students develop key skills in acting, production, and analysis, enriching their experience of the Performing Arts curriculum.
