Deepening the Performance - Education Packs

A trip to a second hand book shop and I saw a copy of Laura's Star.. what a blast from the past, I bought it for my niece and skipped out of the shop remembering a past job. I assisted Tina Williams Director of the Pied Piper Theatre Company. She works incredibly hard and produces really imaginative and magical theatre, specialising in new writing for young children. It was for her production of of Laura's Star that I produced my first ever education pack .

I am lucky enough to have been on all sides. A theatre creator, performer, administrator, as well as a teacher and audience member. As a time strapped teacher education and resource packs are an essential life line. When running into a class with no time to prepare, or when struggling to remember that workshop you went to years ago, grabbing an education pack is a god send. Today's GCSE exams demand that the students have a detailed knowledge, memory and insight into the performance they have seen. Education packs are essential.
