PRIMARY, SECONDARY, POST-16 & SEN OFFERS
Dates are flexible for booking in-school across the year,
but schools must ensure booking well in advance.
Dates, Location & Format
The in-school performance is 25 minutes in duration, with
the potential for a 20-30 minute Q&A session with the
actors. Additional workshops can be anything from 50
minutes to 2.5 hours.
The learning outcomes for this project are varied and can
be tailored depending on the focus of the workshop. The
story of Yarico can be related to the English, Drama,
Citizenship, History, PSHE and Religious Education
Curriculum.
For students, the project will:
Learning Outcomes
• Provide an experience of a live theatre performance.
• Increase awareness of SMSC and British Values
relating to Citizenship, PSHE and Religious Studies
• Raise awareness of issues surrounding modern
enslavement and women’s emancipation
• Cover performance and verbal skills related to the
spoken language aspect of the English National
Curriculum for KS1-4
• Build on transferable skills related to taking part in a
drama workshop such as, communication, speaking
and listening, working in a team and building
confidence
• Offer an introduction to drama and storytelling or a
more in-depth exploration of specific drama and
devising skills including mask work on a basic,
intermediate or advanced level. This can easily be
related to the Drama and Theatre Studies curriculum
in KS4 or KS5
For teachers, the project can support them to engage
with Drama in a simple way in their classrooms and
provide creative solutions to enabling discussions on
SMSC topics such as identity, religion and race.
We would need an initial planning consultation with each
teacher to determine the best times and arrangements
for performances and workshops and the specific targets
and aims for each workshop. This can be done over the
phone.
Teacher Commitment & Training
We would need a teacher to be present at every
workshop and enough teachers present at a performance
to chaperone the number of students.
We expect teachers to be engaged in the workshops with
the participants. This will be an opportunity to see our
process in practice and learn from a Trestle specialist.
