A series of workhsops and master classes for a range of partners in Vietnam, working for Drama Arts Productions Ltd. including the INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL of Ho CHi Minh and BIS, Vietnam.
On day one I had a wonderful day with the International School of Ho Chi Minh, working with Year 10 students on Ways in to Devising. Day two was spent at BIS Primary School where I gave theatre workshops for 6 primary classes and their teachers exploring Sean Tan's The Arrival, followed by a 3 hour teacher training workshop on using drama and theatre in the primary classroom. On the third day, I worked with BIS' sister school and their Year 11 Vietnamese pupils, on movement approaches to Antigone and followed this with a workshop for Year 12 students on Mountain Language. Next, was a Year 10 Devising workshop for BIS before a longer workshop on the process of directing for Year 12 and 13 students working on their directing portfolio. Finally, I gave a teacher training session on Unlocking the Mysteries of Shakespeare for younger actors and on using actors exercsies to suppor students in interpreting modern text, using Death and The Maiden.
