Introductory SCHOOL WORKSHOPS
Introductory workshops are an exciting example of the sessions Wac Arts facilitate.
In this workshop, participants will explore a range of vocal and physical drama skills through warmups and games. They will work collaboratively in groups to devise a short piece utilising these skills, exploring their identity and individuality. There will be the opportunity to perform and share at the end of the workshop. This workshop can be adapted to suit any age group or level of experience.
Through games and exercises, we will develop collaborative skills essential for working as a collective ensemble. This session encourages participants to use breath and eye contact, linking skills that are vital for drama performance with collaborative working.
Exploring different genres of movement and techniques through dance styles including, Contemporary, Hip Hop, Jazz, Modern etc. This workshop can be tailored to support a health and well-being, creative expression through movement and developing choreographic style.
Combining singing and dancing, participants will rehearse and perform a routine from a West End musical! Some schools have gone on to perform their work at end of year assemblies to show off their skills.
Discover the basics of Stop Frame Animation and create your own! This introductory session will introduce key techniques such as squash and stretch, encourage participants to utilise their creativity and bring their ideas to life using iPad software.
A creative workshop focused on empowering young people to recognise their individual skills, values and qualities and how these align with their dreams and aspirations! This session can be focused on careers in the creative industries, or more generally to support participants with challenging transitions such as selecting GCSE or A-level options.
