MED Theatre’s rich programme of workshops are popular in schools and community groups all across Devon. See below for what we can offer, or get in touch with us to discuss other options at education@medtheatre.co.uk
Students create their own film inspired by their local community and surroundings. They will learn many skills along the way, including idea conception, writing the screenplay, learning how to use the technical equipment and acting on screen.
Students find out why community theatre remains an important element of the arts industry and how it can be used to positively impact the world around us.
Teacher training opportunities
MED Theatre can also offer teacher training for primary school educators. This can either be brought to your school, or, if we add you to our mailing list, we can notify you when a session is next in your area.
How to use drama in the classroom: Teachers are led through a wide variety of drama exercises and techniques that can be used directly in the classroom. Teachers not only have the chance to be a ‘student’ for the sessions but are also invited to share their own ideas for variations on these techniques. This enriches the process by providing an open forum and techniques become versatile to a variety of subjects. Handouts are provided to support the session.
