“Play in a Day”

".. promoted confidence in drama... excellent as always" Dronfield Junior School "..a very profitable experience for everyone.." Clay Cross Junior School

We can be heroes just for one day…

A full day’s programme delivered in school for up to 30 participants culminating in a performance for the whole school, parents and the local community.

What is  Play in a day?

A  fun participatory project  for primary school pupils aged between 7-11 years old.  The project supports the PSHE and Citizenship curriculum and is informed by the principles of the Every Child Matters Policy that culminates in a performance for parents, the local community and the whole school.

 How does it work?

• We work through the day to prepare a short piece of performance work on the fun theme of self esteem and hero’s
• Two artists work with one class using interactive and participatory drama exercises inspired by the Every Child Matters policy. 
• The day’s experience will generate confidence and develop performance skills based on team work.
• The company will supply costume, props, script ideas, and music to enhance the finished performance for parents, the local community or the rest of the school to enjoy at the end of the day.

 NB “Play In A Day” can take place either in one day for one class of year 3-6 children or in a week with several classes. 

 “Play in a Day” is essentially about participation, with schools, young people and their families from the moment of conception to the finished product, and it all happens on the same day!
