Schools Workshops

Polka In Your Classroom!

Polka is delighted to be offering some great new school workshops for both pupils and teachers.  Why not bring the magic of Polka to your school?

Polka's directors, puppeteers, playwrights and actors lead workshops in your school hall.  We can work with up to thirty children at a time and tailor-make the experience to suit your group. 

Show Related Workshops

These workshops based on a Polka production explore the play’s themes and production elements such as music, dance or movement.

 Why not book a show-related workshop package?  Our show-related workshops will inspire and bring the shows to life using drama to explore key themes and issues.

 Our workshop packages are from £200 and include:

  • A show-related workshop (at your school)
  • Free Teacher Resource Pack
  • Activity Sheets for the students


Puppetry Workshops

Join our professional puppet and prop makers as they deliver workshops exploring either rod puppets, hand puppets, junk puppets, two dimensional puppets, junk puppets or the art of object manipulation.  Focusing on a theme or a book you are working on in class, we can work with your group to create puppets and bring them to life.


Page to Stage Workshops
Let us help you make books and stories more accessible by bringing them to life in your classroom using drama games and techniques.

 

Playwriting Workshops

Our playwrights visit your class and work with them on devising their own script using creative drama techniques to focus on speaking, listening, reading and writing.

 

An Actors Life Workshop

Learn warms-ups, acting techniques, improvisation exercises and some of the tricks of the trade.

 

Play in a Day

Our director visits your class and works with them throughout the day to devise a play.  We can focus on a specific theme or aspect of the cirriculum and using improvisation, role play and storytelling techniques, use drama to explore other areas of learning.

 

Multi-Sensory Workshops

These workshops are for SEN groups and can be adapted to suit your group's individual needs.
