The new Paper Birds digital workshop series is an alternative to having the company come and run a day of live workshops. The digital collection offers four video workshops, presented by Paper Birds co-artistic directors Kylie Perry and Jemma McDonnell (pictured), and guides students through how to devise their own theatre in the style of The Paper Birds. The workshops are aimed at Key Stages 4 and 5, but would also be accessible for Year 9.
Access to the workshops is for 12 weeks and prior to beginning the work it's suggested that you have an ‘umbrella theme’ ready, and students will need to have conducted a short interview with someone. This preparation could all be done in lessons as a buildup to the online workshops. Once you've run through the workshops as they are presented with the stimulus, you can adapt them or pick and choose what to use with any stimuli, so you really will get plenty of use from what is on offer.
