ABOUT
who we are
In the Spotlight Theatre Education is a team of experienced West End professionals who are passionate about enriching learning by delivering high quality practical workshops, resources and experiences. It has been shown that access to dance and drama provision for young people enhances confidence, wellbeing and learning in other subjects.
Our growing range of participatory West End Experience Workshops aim to harness the thrill of performance to enhance students' knowledge of literature, geography and world cultures, and PSHE curricular aims. Our professionally trained instructors have worked in all areas of performance including with the Royal Shakespeare Company, National Theatre, Royal Opera House and in many of London’s top West End shows. We also partner with theatre productions and other partners to develop high quality schools resources and affiliate education programmes.
Because we are a small team, we keep our prices lower than larger organisations are are able to provide a more personalised service.
what we do
WEST END experience SCHOOLS WORKSHOPS
West End Spotlight Schools Workshops are streamlined dance and drama workshops for EYFS, KS1 and KS2 students, bringing the magic of the West End stage to your school. We provide our own sound system and our instructor will lead the groups through the material using a combination of the children's own ideas and set choreography and character work.
We normally lead up to seven self contained workshops (30-40 mins each) in your school hall, which are structured to reach one whole form entry school in a day. Half day workshops are also available.
Our West End Workshop Leaders also lead an optional dynamic dance based morning assembly to introduce themselves to the students, get them moving, and inspire them for the activities to come that day.
Students will learn a dance sequence which brings to life the theme of the workshop be it a book, cultural event or mini musical. We encourage individual expression so every young person will be involved in its creation and have their moment 'in the spotlight' too.
