WORKSHOPS & EDUCATION
As of 2025, we are bringing our 'Producing Independent Theatre' to both educational establishments and creatives interested in taking their work to Edinburgh Fringe and other festivals (more info below)
In 2024, we developed and launched the 'Sketch-Comedy for Stage' module for Pauline Quirke Academy. Using the scene-creation and character exercises we use in developing our shows, the project uses these devices as an accessible lens for learning theatre-making skills that are applicable across the board.
The project is now on the PQA database as a resource that any of the 200 academies across the UK can use as part of their programme.
