drama adventures - gemma bolwell

All aboard for this tempestuous adventure across stormy seas to the island where magic happens!

​

This workshop, loosely based on The Tempest, is designed to bring children’s imaginations to life while actively engaging them in creating elements of one of Shakespeare’s best-loved plays.  After a brief getting-to-know-you, the adventurers will work as a team to create a great sea-storm using movement, music and swirling cloth and streamers.  Once the storm has died down, they’ll find themselves washed up on the shore of a magical island – the features and characters of which they will create themselves using movement skills and drama techniques.  Having embodied a bad-tempered Caliban, they’ll hear from the wise wizard Prospero and take a leading part in magical trickery across the island.

On returning home there will be plenty to recount of their amazingly action-packed adventure!
