Workshops, Workshops, Workshops!


Get Katie out to your festival, school, or event to teach workshops!

Workshops will have a focus on having fun and learning new skills in a non-competitive, supportive and inclusive environment.

Every workshop will begin with a physical warm up game followed by a group stretch.

Skills taught could include the following and depend on how many workshops you would like, the age range of the group and what you would like the focus to be:

Human Pyramids: students will learn different ways to make shapes with each other by making pyramids in a safe and fun way.

Balance Skills: such as unicycle, rola bola and balancing objects.

Creative dance skills: including exploring movement through structured improvisations and learning choreographic tools.

Performance skills: Explored through theatre sports games and improvisation techniques. Students will have opportunities to demonstrate new skills or create short performances to demonstrate to the class. Students will be provided with lead in questions to respond to their class mates work and learn about active audience participation.

Manipulation Skills: such as hula hoop, juggling, diabolo, flower sticks, poi and plate spinning.

Slapstick and Clowning: Students will learn some of the classic slapstick moves and ways to explore their natural clown.

Katie has been doing Circus workshops to our Middle Years student leaders for two years. She brings so much energy and passion and our students find this infectious and love learning skills that they will use in the Stirling Xmas Pageant. Katie is always professional, organized and pitches activities perfectly for our group. She demonstrates and encourages our students (some who have never performed before) to have a go, play and practice. I also love that she brings music which creates a fun creative vibe - Jayne Fulbrook, The Arts Student Leadership Mentor, Heathfeild Highschool
