"THE MAGIC OF WORDS: WOBBLING INTO ACTION!" WORKSHOP (Ages 5 -8)

To celebrate the success of our children's show Mrs Wobble the Waitress and Friends at the Edinburgh 2008 Festival we have created a workshop package for Primary Schools to support the Literacy Programme, based on the popular children's book from the Happy Families series Mrs Wobble the Waitress, by Allan Ahllberg.

The children will be encouraged to physicalise onomatopoeic words and those suggesting strong visual images. They will be able to explore how the written word can be translated into physical actions and fun by using the images they represent to create characters, scenes and stories.

 

"CREATURES OF THE IMAGINATION" WORKSHOP (Full primary age range)

We are offering this one hour workshop to primary schools to coincide with our adult 'Horror' show, to be produced in February 2010. This workshop will playfully explore both new and traditional creatures of the imagination that 'scare' us.

The sessions are designed to engage the imagination, so the children will have a focus through which to explore different uses of the body, voice and the space around them.

Using the creation of characters as a starting point, the children will be guided to make up short scenes showing these creatures' adventures. This work can then be channelled into teachers' subsequent lessons where they can set the children the task of writing stories inspired by the characters they have created.

The aim of these workshops is to stimulate an interest in writing from concrete experience.
