Theatre Workout Weekly Classes
Theatre Workout offers programmes of weekly classes for primary and secondary schools, providing in-school learning designed to support the curriculum and the ongoing development of children and young people.
Drama will empower students through self-expression, presentation skills, and oracy, escalating their all-round communication skills and their ability to work productively both solo and in teams.
Our weekly classes are inspired by our work with West End productions since 2006. and offers nationally recognised awards by Trinity, LAMDA and Arts Award.
Additionally, we can use Drama pedagogically to support the entire Primary curriculum, to embed Drama into your ongoing teaching practice and support student's learning in all subjects!
Classes combine taught activities with student-led practice, often resulting in performances at the end of each term. Additionally, students may have the opportunity to sit accredited LAMDA Exams across a range of disciplines.
