Fresh Drama Episode 6
<p>KS5 Devising Theatre- This is our last episode before we hit the beach for the summer and it is a very special one indeed! This week we are bringing you one of our favourite interviews this series. We are joined by The Paper Birds Theatre Company who have recently made it onto AQA's prescribed practitioner list and are recommended by Edexcel to use when devising drama (particularly with social distancing in mind). The ladies generously shared their process with us and helped us consider what an examiner watching the work should consider when marking a group influenced by their style. We will both be using them come September and will create IG TV clips for you to use in lessons. We also review the playtext Mercury Fur by Philip Ridley exploring how we might use this as a stimulus for devising. Next week we will also upload an interview with Philip himself as a bonus summer listen...It is amazing and a must listen, trust us! Throughout the summer we will continue adding material to our IG platform so keep following. We return on the 28th August for our back to school special! Enjoy your summer!</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p>

Fresh Drama Episode 5
<p>KS4 GCSE Drama (Blood Brothers)- This week we tackle ways to teach the written exam at KS4 keeping it fresh and relevant, particularly if teaching a three year KS4 curriculum. Whilst primarily focusing on the playtext Blood Brothers, our tips and advice can be used for any set text choice. We are also joined by Michael Southern and Stephen Palfreman, the actors who played Sammy and Mickey in the West End production of Blood Brothers for over ten years. Being a popular GCSE set text, we chat about ways of interpreting the role of the narrator and gain an inside look into the psyche of both characters. We additionally learn more about their company Stage-ed, which brings practical tailormade workshops into schools to help our young people prepare for the exams and develop their cultural capital. We EVEN have time to sneak in some exam responses which fits the top band criteria for both Blood Brothers and The Crucible.

Fresh Drama Episode 4
<p>Curriculum Planning KS3- In this week's episode we begin thinking about what our KS3 curriculum might look like come September with social distancing still at the forefront of our thinking. We speak with Tim Allen, a fantastic Stop Motion Animator, who gives us hints/tips on how to create a stop motion animation project with our students and provide you with a Scheme of Learning to save you time this summer!</p> <p>We also review the playtext Brainstorm by Ned Glasier, Emily Lim and Company 3 which we think would be a perfect addition to any KS3 curriculum focusing on content and students' lived experiences. We are also fortunate enough to talk directly to Ned, Emily and one of Brainstorm's actress Segan Yosef, about the staging of this piece and their ethos when working.
