Summer School 2021

In 2021 we held our own drama summer programme for children for the first time. Based in our Studio, we invited children aged 6-8 to join us for a week of theatrical fun and creativity, culminating in a performance for families at the end of the week.

We were part of Islington Council’s Holiday Activities and Food programme, providing free holiday enrichment provision including lunch to children from low-income families in the borough.

We hope to provide similar opportunities in future school holidays – watch this space!

Tall Stories in the Woods

In 2022 we collaborated with award-winning outdoor education provider The Garden Classroom to deliver an innovative half-term activity club called ‘Tall Stories in the Woods’. For children aged 7-11, this blended drama and storytelling with forest school approaches and activities. Based entirely outdoors at Gillespie Park in Islington, we brought the story of ‘The Explorer’ by Katherine Rundell to life through drama games, imagination, den building, crafts and more.

Giving the children opportunities for different types of creative experiences has really given them an imagination boost!
