Shakespeare Workshops

The schools in our Manchester Hub have been delighted with the workshops. You have delivered some amazing sessions (as always!). Thank you so much for all your hard work – we really do love working with As Creatives!” 

“The children were engaged and interested throughout. ​They gained new information about the plot, themes and character motivation in Macbeth. Best and most informative workshop I’ve seen for 20 years!”

“We hugely enjoyed the workshops. It was lovely for the children to have a day off timetable exploring Shakespeare. I was actually surprised by the creativity of their responses during both the drama activities and the book making . It was nice to see many of them working so well as a team. I would love to work with your company again.”

  

 

“The students now have a clearer understanding of Shakespeare’s ‘The Tempest’. The level of subject knowledge from Jackson was brilliant. The special facts that he knew blew the children away and made the workshop so much more memorable. Thank you for your fantastic delivery. We really enjoyed having you at Chichester Free School.”

“That was simply brilliant. Thank you so much for a wonderful morning. It far surpassed my expectations and I know that the children really enjoyed every minute. You managed to captivate the children and truly got the best from them. The activities were perfectly pitched and I would really recommend your workshop for all as your enthusiasm for Shakespeare and great manner made it a true pleasure.”

“We (pupils and Teachers) absolutely love the workshops that Jackson presents. He first came to Turnfurlong Junior School in 2017 and we use the workshops to launch our work on Macbeth.The pupils found it engaging, they enjoyed taking part as characters and the freeze frames. Most of all, it is great to have a 90 minute session without any gadgets, props or technology. We will certainly be booking this workshop again!”

“The children loved the drama aspect of the workshop. The online was amazingly engaging for the children – thanks to Jo’s exciting delivery and constant interaction with individual children. The children gained a good understanding of the content of the play, Macbeth and hopefully a lifelong interest and enjoyment in Shakespeare. A huge thank you to Jo – she is fabulous!  I look forward to booking the next session.”

 

 

“Thank you so much for your energy and dedication. The pupils absolutely loved your sessions and it was wonderful to see them all working collaboratively and enjoying their learning in such a creative way.”

 

“I would like to thank you for the excellent Shakespeare day you delivered before Easter. The children adored it and have regularly spoken about it since – many saying it was their favourite day of Year 6!” 

“The children LOVED the workshop.  They raved about the session afterwards and talked about what they had done well into the following week.  The activities that Jo chose fit in perfectly with the English curriculum and the English sessions which we had already completed with year 6.  She built on the children’s prior knowledge and extended their learning further, whilst keeping the activities fun and engaging.  We loved the sessions and would love to use As Creatives again during our Shakespeare topic next year.”

“Just wanted to feed back that The Tempest workshop yesterday was fantastic and a really good energiser for being something totally different in the (home-learning) schedule … Gabriel said it was “just amazing”, he loved it! It has inspired him to ask to look up the original play with me, which is the best endorsement..”
