World Book Day Workshops
Dance Workshops that Bring Books to Life
Our World Book Day dance workshops give children an immersive experience of storytelling. Each class works alongside a professional dancer to explore popular children’s books through movement.
For World Book Day 2024 you can choose between our ever-popular ‘Bringing Books to Life’ workshops exploring a range of children’s books, or our new Alice in Wonderland performance workshop where we bring your whole school together to create a show in a day.
Story Explorer Drama Workshops
By exploring children’s books through drama children have the chance to experience storytelling first-hand. Using techniques drawn from professional theatre they will gain confidence alongside a new understanding of the characters and themes as they live and breathe the story.
For World Book Day 2024 you can choose between workshops inspired by Matilda by Roald Dahl, We’re Going To Find the Monster by Malorie Blackman and Dapo Adeola, Anisha, Accidental Detective by Serena Patel, What the Ladybird Heard, by Julia Donaldson and the traditional tale Jack and the Beanstalk.
Shakespeare Explorer
Shakespeare’s plays were written to be performed. Our Shakespeare Explorer workshops use drama to give children an in-depth exploration of our greatest storyteller’s most famous plays.
You can choose from A Midsummer Night’s Dream or Twelfth Night for World Book Day and Shakespeare Week 2024.
Perfect for Reception to Year 6, we work class by class using materials from the play that have been tailored for each age group.
Shakespeare Today
Imagine the children of your school joining together to perform a Shakespeare play to each other – and the whole process, including preparation, only taking one day!
Perfect for Reception to Year 6, we work class-by-class throughout the day to explore the story and characters of your chosen play through drama, culminating in an abridged version of the whole play which the children perform to each other.
For World Book Day and Shakespeare Week 2024 you can choose from A Midsummer Night’s Dream or Romeo and Juliet.
