More about this Workshop/Service and the Provider
Every child’s imagination should be inspired by the arts.
Our shows and workshops are highly creative cultural experiences - which children will remember for ever.
West End in Schools offers pantomimes, dance and drama workshops, musical theatre shows, and Shakespeare workshops to primary schools all over the UK.
We’re the only school theatre company with trained actors drawn from the world of London’s West End theatre.
Our team includes performers who have sung in musicals such as Wicked and Matilda, danced in Chicago and Shrek, and acted on the stages of the National Theatre and the Donmar Warehouse. Over the last few years they have worked with and performed to well over a million children.
Using our experience as an Olivier Award winning West End production company we bring the best writers, directors and actors working in the industry into productions and workshops for schools just like yours.
The Workshop
Our Anti-Bullying drama workshop uses professional theatrical techniques to encourage respect and celebrate diverse viewpoints
In one day we spread a positive and inclusive anti-bullying message and use drama techniques alongside examples from children’s books to help prevent bullying - while unifying the children through the activity itself.
Our workshops are facilitated by professional actors who are also experienced in working in primary schools. Our professionals know how to quickly build trust among the group and adapt to their specific needs.
These sessions last between 40 and 50 minutes for EYFS and KS1, and between 45 and 70 minutes for KS2. Our recommended schedule for a full day includes 5 sessions of 50 minutes each.
