In-school Workshop - we visit your school: All UK Regions, London & South East
Covid-19
While Covid-19 remains at large we are unable to run our award-winning West End Workshops or School Trips, which add so much value to student's education.But all is not lost!
WE CAN deliver our multi-award-winning drama programmes in schools and online, providing outstanding educational content in the comfort and safety of your school AND WE CAN also plan school trips from June 2021 onwards, by which time we hope the non-covid world will begin to return.
Students have missed out on a lot this year and we are doing everything we can to mitigate that and ensure trips can go ahead at a later date. Please get in touch or visit our website for more information.
Thank you - and stay safe!

Which Curriculum Subjects do you cater for?
English
Curriculum topics available: Story writing, Shakespeare, Creative writing, Story telling.
English Leterature and Drama often go hand-in-hand in many schools, and over 2500 English students participate in our workshops each year! Shakespeare never wrote a word to be studied, he wrote to be performed, so a drama workshop will help students visualise and connect physically with themes, characters and stories as they bring them to life. Performing Arts
Our workshops are full-on, practical, participatory drama and performing arts workshops led by industry professionals who will help you develop new skills, develop a greater understanding of productions you're going to see, or expand the curriculum projects you're working on. Dance
Dance plays a large part in the work we do, especially in dance, musical theatre and physical theatre workshops. We focus on the creative process of developing choreography for dance routines and more, giving your students a greater understanding of how choreography is developed, giving them ownership of their work. Music
Musical theatre workshops develop a greater understanding of how music drives a performance and enriches the theatre experience. We also offer music appreciation workshops in which we disect and reassemble music from shows like Wicked, which is on the music curriculum. Languages
We work with about 2000 international students each year helping them develop a greater understanding of English through drama. PSHE
Curriculum topics available: Teamwork and resilience.
Teamwork, collaboration, leadership, confidence development, communication skills, and other essential life skills are learned through drama and performing arts. It's just part of the equation of what we do!What size groups do you cater for?
Theatre Workout caters for any group size, although 25-35 is the average. Larger groups can be split between studios, and our largest group to date is over 200 students in several spaces simultaneously.
