Story telling is at the heart of communal life. We humans have always connected through sharing our unique human experience. At Yes, And… we believe that story telling is an inside out process that encourages self awareness, healthy processing of emotion and empathy for the experience of others that is amiss in much of the drama training today.

We bring together our collective passion, experience and knowledge of the performing arts with combined therapeutic tools that allow us to create a sacred safe space within which the children can explore themselves and process their emotions.

In doing so, our children are developing:

• Emotional intelligence, linked to success in adult life both professionally and in relation to others

• Self awareness, by beginning to experience their internal world

• Mental well being.

• Integration of left and right sides of the brain

• Their Creativity and imagination

• Greater confidence and self trust

• A connection to their peers

• Greater degrees of empathy for others

• Resilience

• Discipline

• The art of performance

Over our time together we will:

• Play purposeful games

• Introduce improvisation

• Work with the voice and self expression

• Build characters from the inside out

• Practice using the body to express character

• Devise an age appropriate play

• Perform our devised piece for parents and carers

The course will take place over a period of three days, either in school time or as an extra curricular activity.

We are able to adapt the course to your specifications and needs.

We are currently gathering sponsors to make this available in all schools
