Teach Berkoff

We Teach Drama has maintained an impressive level of output since its founding at the beginning of 2021, with a constant stream of free and paid-for resources which have been extremely well executed. This ‘Teach Berkoff’ webinar, aimed at teachers with students at KS4-5, was a 90-minute Zoom session costing £30, and is likely to be repeated later in the year.

In many ways, this webinar was really a supporting feature to accompany an extremely thorough resource pack sent out in advance. Brighton-based teacher Natasha Higdon has been teaching Berkoff as a set practitioner for many years, and had written up a 43-page document divided into three sections: Theory and Context – a selection of handouts for students on background information for the study of Berkoff; Practical Exploration – 8 lesson plans designed to cover 12 hours of teaching; and finally Script Extracts and Further Reading – with useful links for both teachers and students.
