Everyone follows approximately the same steps.Everyone has their own idea about the ideal cup of tea and everyone has their own taste. Do you likesugar, milk or lemon, Barry’s or Fruit Tea? Your workshop is unique to you. One of the beautiful thingsabout planning drama is that you can be creative in the process.The workshop structure I am using is a common format in youth drama and youth theatre.The various stages in making a Cup of Tea are:1. Filling the kettle and switching it on2. Getting the ingredients ready3. Pouring in the hot water4. Brewing5. Pouring out6. Relaxing and drinking the teaThese stages roughly correlate to the following sections of a youth drama workshop:Filling the kettle and switching it onGetting the ingredients readyPouring in the hot waterBrewingPouring out the teaDrinking the teaFirst Contact / Warm up / Creating SafetyWarm up and ExercisesPutting together Ideas / Composing ActivitiesDeepening the Fiction / Where might it go next?Showing / Sharing the WorkDe-roling / Wind down / Evaluation10
