PLOT EXPLORATION | PERFORMANCE | THEATRE
A Play in a Day is an immersive theatre making program delivered remotely with the artist. The program is delivered in two stages:
Stage 1 consists of an Introduction to Drama Performance and Script Writing, featuring a workshop in which participants are immersed in drama activities and the play development process through improvisation and sketch creation.
Stage 2 consists of Rehearsals and Performance, which can be run by the school or with support from the artist throughout the rehearsal process.
The program is highly interactive and allows students and teachers to work collaboratively with the artist to develop a unique play for performance. As a result of the remote delivery, this program offers a great deal of flexibility around timetabling, allowing the school to negotiate the opportunity to continue working with the artist throughout Stage 2 if needed.
