BUILDING RESILIENCE AND WELLBEING THROUGH CREATIVE EXPLORATION AND THE SHARED EXPERIENCE OF BEING HUMAN
A RESOURCE FOR CHILDREN AND THEIR TEACHERS
FOR SUMMER HOLIDAY DRAMA CAMP
AUGUST 2ND - 6TH 2021, FROME, SOMERSET
with Kelly Marie King and Anastasia Griffith:
HOLIDAY DRAMA CLUB
We offer holiday clubs for 7-11 year olds in Frome, Somerset. One week clubs, starting August 2021, from 8.45am til 4pm, offering parents a full work day knowing their children are being stimulated, cared for and inspired.
‘KIDSPIRATION’
Our child centric program is taken into schools where we explore themes of the national curriculum in a playful, holistic way that offers a blend of drama therapy and devised theatre. We aim to create an inside out approach to creating character and original narrative that simultaneously develops emotional intelligence, resilience and empathy in our children.
‘STAFFROOM"‘
OUR PROGRAMME FOR TEACHERS
Our teachers deserve our support. Having used these techniques with great success in the prison environment, working with both inmates and guards, we have developed a programme to care for the well being and longevity of our teachers.
KIDSPIRATION
A Club for Children
With Kidspiration we integrate our drama and therapeutic experience to provide a fun, play based exploration of our own internal worlds so that we might devise work that is creative as well as healing.
Through our process children will:
Build emotional intelligence
Explore their feelings in a safe and gentle way
Bond with others over their shared experiences
Develop deeper empathy
Increase confidence in being unique
Practice ways to express themselves effectively
Experience joy and connection with others
Dive into their creativity
Apply themselves to an artistic outcome
Our work with Teachers:
Our teachers carry an enormous load and the work they do is unimaginably important. Their well being is imperative for their longevity and joy and all too many reach burn out and overwhelm. The physical, mental and emotional health of our teachers directly impacts the development of our children.
We resource our teachers through in-set day courses that merge our therapeutic practices, balancing the nervous system and offering emotional release, with our game based programme. We have created a unique and effective experience.
Through our process the teachers will:
Be fully heard
Have the opportunity to release overwhelm and stress
Integrate their internal experiences
Learn take home self care techniques
Build connections with colleagues
Experience increased mental well being and confidence.
