What People Say

The workshop far exceeded our expectations. The pupils were fully engaged throughout the day and the best of all the pupils was brought out during the day and during the play. The staff and parents were really pleased with the outcome. The play was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

'The director was upbeat, supportive, enthusiastic and knew how to talk to the children on their level. She taught small sections of the play in small chunks to enable the children to learn lines. She also taught them how to use their voice and bodies to make a better performance... After the event, the children are still asking when she can come back in and do more drama with them... Konflux get a BIG thumbs up and 10 out of 10 from Victoria Primary School!

“The day was really good, well organised and I loved how the whole school could get involved! You are on to a winner with this British Values workshop! It is very difficult to find something that takes it seriously. We have visitors from all different faiths and it was nice to show where British traditions come from. It got the students thinking about Britain and it celebrates diversity!” "The children had a brilliant time and learnt a number of things from the experience including voice projection, presenting, team work and collaboration as well as some interesting facts about British values and the origins of some things we have always thought of as British. It was a great starting point for more in depth learning about being British."

Shakespeare Week - March 2017

Shakespeare Week - March 2017

Here at Konflux Theatre, we’ve been getting ready for for a while now for one of the most exciting weeks of our year – Shakespeare Week! As official partners of Shakespeare Week, we always look forward to this national celebration of one of the country’s finest playwrights. We’ve been thinking about why Shakespeare’s work is still so important and is still very relevant to all of us now.

Alongside the official Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, we believe it’s important to keep the work alive in schools today. That might be looking at all the language Shakespeare influenced in our lives today (like going on a ‘wild goose chase’ – a new one to me too!) or just exploring the wonderful stories he left behind. It’s true that everyone, from soap operas to Disney have borrowed storylines from the bard. And that’s because so many themes from his works are universal and more importantly, timeless. We’ve all seen them - a case of mistaken identity or star crossed lovers, we’ve probably all taken in a lot more Shakespeare than we realise.

So what do we have going on? You and your class can jump right into some of Shakespeare’s most loved works (my personal favourite is Macbeth!) Whether that’s the greatest love story of all (Romeo and Juliet) or wandering through the magical forest with Bottom and his friends in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, why not try out one of our Shakespeare Play in a Day workshops for a new take on tackling the bard? Suitable for Key Stage 2 pupils, these workshops are a great way to showcase your budding actors and are also a fantastic way for younger pupils to access some brilliant stories.

To find out more information about any of our workshops, please give me a call at the office on 01937 220 320. We can’t wait to hear from you!
