The actor Maxine Peake on arts and education.....
“I worry about what happens when you stop giving children opportunities to
create. [Studying the arts] is about more than just a career, it runs deeper
than that. It’s what drama and the arts give to people. It’s about confidence
and connecting with people and the way you see the world. It’s about giving
people the opportunity to tell their story. Everyone needs someone to witness
them.”
IN 2023 WE ARE CELEBRATING OUR 20th BIRTHDAY
Teach-it-through-drama was set up in 2003 to provide Primary schools, in London and surrounding
counties, with high quality and affordable, interactive drama activities for exploring all areas of the
curriculum. We are now one of the leading drama workshops companies in London. We also provide
interactive storytelling and drama related activities for galleries and museums, arts centres and festivals.
We believe that actively taking part in creative activities is key to making learning fun.
We work in role with the children so that they are immersed in the activity, rather than being passive
observers. Our drama strategies encourage creativity, imagination, thinking skills and understanding
across the curriculum, to release potential for all children, whatever their perceived academic ability.
Drama lets children explore their personalities and express their feelings. It is active and makes learning
memorable and enjoyable..
Over the years we have developed a mixture of very popular participatory Storytelling Shows and interactive Drama Workshops, all directly related to the curriculum. We also provide ‘Teachers’ CPD Sessions to give teachers the confidence to use tried and tested drama techniques in the classroom.
