A Level Drama is becoming increasingly popular within UK schools and consequently Shady Dolls now offer workshops to complement the A level Drama syllabus Approaches to Text. Adaptable to accommodate both teacher and pupils’ needs, the programme concentrates on the 2008/2009 set texts, providing guidance for the written paper through the application of a practical workshop.

Born out of a request from Rose Bruford College, Shady Dolls' What’s Next…? lecture is the definitive guide to forming a graduate company and covers all aspects of running a theatrical organisation, including creative production and essential administration.

In the knowledge that many students leave education without basic business acumen, Shady Dolls created this workshop out of a strong desire to pass on their experiences and facilitate the next generation of theatre practitioners. Addressing the artistic and administrative demands of managing a successful company in an accessible and realistic way, our practical guide is a unique opportunity for your students to contemplate their futures in this competitive industry.

Workshops can be tailored to fit busy timetables and students will be offered follow up advice and support.

Please find detailed information packs regarding workshops offered below, and please remember that you are not limited to what is on this page.  (Coming Soon)

Shady Dolls are more than happy to create tailored packages to suit your student and institution’s need.
