This varies, depending on the style of the workshop
In our EYFS Workshops we use basic items such as hats/ masks and scarves to give an idea of character as well as props and small set items to encourage and stimulate children’s imaginations and to help bring our workshops to life.
Topic based workshops for all ages involve some costumes, masks and props for the interactive sections.
In our Character in role sessions, actors come fully costumed to run the workshop session and have some props and costumes for the children to use, where appropriate. Some of our history session, such as ‘Stone Age’ have relics and replica items for the children to handle and examine.
As most of our workshops encourage physical movement, we ideally prefer to work in a hall or studio. However, we are able to run sessions within the classroom as long as there is enough space and clear of any hazards.
