Some comments from the children include,-
It was amazing and loved the games at the beginning, as they were fun but informative and included eveyone. They helped improve both concentration and behavior too! Also, the entire experience gave the children more confidence, and they especially loved watching you and Richard act out the story. You brought Blood Brothers completely to life and they are keen to go and see the show now. They also really enjoyed performing with you, and many of the children said how much they adored being part of the classroom scene, and being invited to perform the final scene was a great compliment to them. Personally, I found the workshop impressive, and truly inspiring. It was a complete joy to watch both yourselves and my Stagecoach children performing with you - thankyou!
I do hope this helps -and, once again, thankyou both for your hard work that day.
Craig, please can you let me know the cost of a mini workshop of Grease? I know that some pupils will not manage a trip to London so could really benefit from your storytelling instead!
Best wishes to you and Richard,

West End Experience certainly provided our students with an experience that brought excitement and learning to the classroom. Organising the event was straightforward and for the second year in a run, we felt privileged to be allowed this unique dip into West End theatre. Students were able to see the re-enactment of some key dramatic scenes they’d seen on stage previously and then take part in further scenes themselves; with the professional actors playing a multiple of roles to support the moments created. It was an energetic and focused workshop that gave insight to the play, the role of the actor and developed dramatic understanding that can be taken from project to project. Weeks later and the students still directly refer to it, the teachers are quoting inspiring comments made by the actors. We highly recommend it.

"The Further Stages students are still talking about their workshop. Coupled with a visit to the show around the same time, it has made lifelong fans of the show from many of the students.
It has fed into the students` work for Trinity exams, based upon the show and inspired them to perfect their work and capture the fun and tragedy of
the show and the quality of performance in their own work"

'The Brothers Workshop was an ideal follow-up to seeing the show. Craig and his team provided us with a really enjoyable session of high-energy activities, with lots of tips and insights that will help the students in their practical and written exams.'
