Theatre in education
Theatre/Drama in education’ has often been conceived as an extension of children’s play. It is generally positioned in the ‘arts’ segment of the school curriculum and thought of as a way to enhance a child’s creativity. Very true, however it is important to distinguish conventional drama activities from ‘Theatre in education’.
Theatre in education emphasises the role of adults in supporting learning outcomes and acknowledges the vital role educationalists play in developing practices that use theatre techniques to foster children’s creativity and to promote educational concepts amongst children and parents.
London Talents does not limit Drama to just a way of enhancing creativity in children but broadens the appeal of the arts across the curriculum, & inspires the use across subject boundaries. We develop and promote the concept of ‘play’ as a medium of communication and an important part of the learning process across all subjects. We widen perception around the use of theatre techniques, puppetry, projections, and installations and raise awareness of its benefits in educational settings.
London Talents research and develop projects in consultation with educationalists, artists, neuroscientists and children to ensure maximum impact and relevance.
Below is an example of the thought process and methodology used to conceive our show ‘From Here to There’.
The Research and Development of this project took place in 2009. It included observation, explorative workshops, performative material generation and short theatrical presentations. The observation and experimental workshops took place at a nursery, preschool and at an international theatre festival in the UK. The company observed how young children play both individually and together, and how ‘shared play’ is negotiated. The company also studied the differences & similarities between how girls and boys play to determine potential content for a performance targeted at very young children. The strong research and development team consisted of two artistic performers, a designer, a musician/percussionist, a director and a group of children across the nursery, playschool and as part of the festival. Following the research and development phase the show was conceived over a year.
To conclude, our shows are a culmination of a lot of work done with neuroscientists, educationalists, high quality theatre professionals and children themselves!
Following the show, London Talents can also provide supporting teacher training workshops and inset days so that the techniques and approaches can be effectively embedded into the curriculum and the concept effectively ingrained into the children. Please let us know if you would like additional info on these workshops and inset days.
We also provide activity packs for schools which are genuinely relevant to the show and will enable maximum learning outcomes.
At London Talents we truly believe, “The creation of something new is not accomplished by intellect alone but by the play instinct. The creative mind plays with the things it loves.’’ Jung
