WORLD BOOK DAY

Primary

Want an exciting way to get your students exploring stories this World Book Day? Ask them to come to school in costume and practice storytelling with Little Angel Theatre and our collection of props and puppets. This workshop can be catered to your current English curriculum.

Early Years

Meet Lennon the Librarian and the book worms, who will help you to bring alive your favourite books right before your eyes. Our experienced Little Angel Team will help to transform your space into the imaginary world of the books you read through music, storytelling and sensory play.

This hour-long workshop can be catered to your current English curriculum and is recommended for nurseries and reception. This is a supplementary session based on the book you are reading in class.

SHAKESPEARE

‘Be not afeared; the isle is full of noises…’ Primary

An introduction to Shakespeare through sock puppet poets. This funfilled workshop begins with the students watching Little Angel Theatre’s short film, ‘The Tempest’, adapted by Hannah Khalil. Each student then gets to craft their own puppet poet, and is taught how to perform with it, exploring lip sync and rhythm.

Early Years

An introduction to Shakespeare through sensory play. Join Little Angel Theatre on a fun-filled journey through ‘The Tempest’. With the assistance of Little Angel’s experienced team you’ll explore Caliban’s island, float away with Ariel, and make a storm with Prospero. An inclusive, interactive approach to Shakespeare’s text, in a story told through music, slow storytelling and sensory play.

WOMEN IN STEM

Primary

Learn how to engineer a puppet with Little Angel Theatre. After a demonstration of the engineering behind our professional puppets, we teach your students how to design and craft their own using a variety of accessible materials. This exciting and educational workshop will inspire students to explore STEM subjects in the future.

Early Years

Join Eli the Engineer on her exploration into our wonderful world of wonderful things. In this session your students will become Story Engineers, who will assist Eli on her ‘choose your own adventure’ style story. Experiment with gravity, balance, friction and temperature with Eli and help her to make decisions as she goes on her adventures in her wonderful world.

NEW for 2022/23 we have show related workshops, aligning with our season. These are available for bookings at our Studios, at your school/venue, or as a DIY package for you to run independently.
