“We had a session based on the Stone Age. The children were fully HOOKED for the entire session and spoke about it for the rest of the day. Our instructor, Jo, was amazing! The children followed every instruction and watched her with amazement. They learnt facts about the Stone Age as well as taking part in drama techniques and activities. We would definitely look into booking this again.”

“Here are a few comments from our teachers: The children really enjoyed the pantomime but I thought it would have been even better if the lady had some more visual props for the Cinderella story theme e.g. magic wand, glass slipper or a cloak for the prince etc. The children loved it! They all really enjoyed it and there was a lot of interaction with the children. The pantomime was really engaging for the children, it was very interactive and at their level. The lady who ran it was very patient and enthusiastic.”

“We have recently enjoyed a Gingerbread Man workshop at our school. We are a large infant school and therefore we needed four classes to have the same workshop. Every class experienced a fun and energetic experience. It has helped the children with learning the story and enabled all children to be involved. It was lovely to see the children working together, getting important movement and exercise whilst sequencing a story.”

“From Year 5 Teacher It seemed okay for the lower school, but I felt my year 5 weren’t really challenged. Some of the children were unable to read the text, which was projected on the screen. ( they were lots of hard words which they didn’t know how to read). Maybe if we had an advanced copy of the slides we could have read it together before hand.”

“Such a simple and effective way of bringing ‘panto land’ to the children. They really enjoyed the story and listened so intently to what was going on! We have booked before and will be booking again!!”

“The children loved the workshop. It was engaging, exciting and very festive! All of our children, from Reception to Year 6, and including those with additional needs, were able to take part and develop their acting skills. The communication and organisation before the event was also excellent and helped it to run smoothly.”

“Superb session on A Christmas Carol which served perfectly to embed the children's knowledge of the text. Everyone had a great time and really got the opportunity to fully inhabit the characters and explore the story. We will undoubtedly be doing it again next year! Also, a really smooth and flexible booking process which makes life ten times easier. Many thanks”

“The panto was wonderful! The performers were really engaging, pupils joined in enthusiastically and I appreciated the explicit teaching of 'panto rules' that they completed at the beginning (teaching the booing, 'oh no you didn't', 'he's behind you' etc.), which helped all pupils to be fully involved. They had a good understanding of the setting, and planned their management of the room (shared and practiced stop signals with the children) which helped ensure the performance ran smoothly. Pupils were actively engaged throughout the performance, with callouts, singing and dancing, which was really valuable in keeping little fidgety bottoms engaged for the duration. It was delivered clearly, and pupils were able to follow the story from beginning to end. It was a good quality, inclusive and age-appropriate production, delivered in a way that all pupils could engage with - Year 2 thought it was excellent! Year 3 absolutely loved it. It was fun and lively and there was lots of audience participation to keep them engaged. It was also a great experience to see something different and it felt like a real treat for them. My personal EBI was to question the need for the laboured French accents .. I understand they were trying to portray Beauty and the Beast which is a French fairytale, but it made it a little difficult to understand them at times. Generally impressions of other cultures and people are best left alone I think .. we don't want to be contributing to social stereotyping (though I think it went over the children's heads!) Reception thought it was a lovely performance, that demonstrated effective use of props and audience participation. The actors were very inclusive in their approach for our youngest children and SEN. We thought it was of good quality, an appropriate time span. Our children concentrated and join in well. Not one trip to the toilet mid performance from R, which indicated a high level of engagement from us. We really appreciated the performance, we made time to make links with performing in our own show and we prepped the children to what a panto was and expectations. These expectations were well echoed by the performers. Thank you. We loved it!”
