Mayan Workshops

The Drama Hut

Please note: Workshops only - We visit your school!

At the Drama Hut, we believe that schools should have affordable access to drama in order to support learning. The Drama Hut was created in order to provide an on-site service that teachers could access, to help bring the curriculum to life. Through drama, children are able to experience a subject, complementing and enhancing their learning in the classroom.

All our team are trained both in facilitation and performance. They have experience working with children of all ages and share a common passion through learning through drama. All facilitators are DBS checked and implement The Drama Hut CPP (Child Protection Policy).

Why are The Drama Hut a great choice for bringing fun workshops into your school?

During this workshop, the children will play our fast-paced 10 second picture game, depicting amongst other things, life and famous structures from this period. They will also get to re-create the story of “The Hero Twins” from the Popol Vu and explore Mayan religion and the specific roles the Gods, Kings and Priests played during this time by playing ‘Guess the God’.
The workshop will finish with a ritual ceremony of a willing victim for human sacrifice - any teachers willing?

What size groups do you cater for?

We can work with up to 30 children at any one time for a minimum of 60 minutes. We offer special day rates for multiple classes and can deliver two different topics to different year groups on the same day, helping to manage tight school budgets. All we require on the day is the school hall or similar to work in and a member of staff to observe the session/s.

Do you cater for visitors with Special Educational Needs (SEN)?

yes

Anything else?

“We have used The Drama Hut on several occasions to help enrich and inspire the children’s experience of the curriculum. All facilitators have been well prepared and able to use their dramatic skills to deliver well-pitched and interesting workshops. Children are always excited after the session and are able to speak confidently about what they have learnt.”
