On its 20th anniversary, theatre company Les Enfants Terribles (LET) launched a new website for teachers. Named The Curiosity Index, the platform promises ‘300+ resources in one place’. My curiosity piqued, I register with an email address, and I'm in.
The home screen is bursting with colour, like being on the front row of a LET show. There are lots of images associated with different shows – Alice's Adventures Underground, The Terrible Infants, and more – alongside different types of resources: trailers, mood-boards, scripts and a MadCap Theatre Pinterest page.
It is great fun, and a wonderous peek into the joyous theatre they create. There's an amazing 20-minute-long puppetry video including extracts from The House with Chicken Legs. Most resources are images, such as old tour posters and designs. As rich as they are, there is no supporting information attached to them. There is a great photo from The Vaudevillains, but it has no context with it or any suggestions on how to use it in the classroom.
