Final places available on Devising Political Theatre teacher CPD

‘Was there ever a better time to engage our students with social politics?’ says Splendid, ‘Join Kerry Frampton, Artistic Director of Splendid for 90 minutes of practical tips, tactics, tricks and techniques to get your students making interesting, entertaining and thought-prodding political theatre in a socially distanced way. This will be followed by a 30 minute Q&A session where you can pick Kerry’s Splendid brain.

'This session is aimed at teachers of Drama & Performing Arts at KS3–5. The techniques, ideas and exercises can be pocketed and taken directly to your students or you can adapt them and make them your own.

‘We will explore the benefits of an Epic structure, utilise a heap of Brechtian techniques, add a taste of Boal and of course fill it with the anti-4th wall all-singing, all-physical, all-clowning dialectics of Splendid.  How to use chorus, multi-roling, shifts in performance style, the politics of space, songs, puppetry, multiple perspectives, disrupting the narrative flow and breaking that 4th wall right down (within the current governmental guidelines of course).’
