On Saturday 25 September, teachers attending the Music & Drama Education Expo at the Business Design Centre in Islington, London, will have the opportunity to attend a workshop with Frantic Assembly. Hosted by associate director Sophie Shaw, and actor and director Marc Puoani, the practical, on-the-feet workshop will introduce teachers to some of the key principles of devising the ‘Frantic’ way – an invaluable and, crucially, free insight which will leave attendees with tools to take back to their drama studios and use to inspire their students.

In the morning, at 11:45, Shaw will also be taking part in a ‘fireside chat’ on the performance stage at the heart of the exhibition, with the opportunity for questions from the floor and a chance for those unable to attend the 3 o’clock session to benefit from her wisdom on the company, in conversation.
