About Spit Spot

Established in 2004, our aim is to offer drama activities to all age groups as a medium for wider learning. We believe that a practical, hands-on approach to teaching and learning is particularly beneficial, especially for young children. Through our workshops we aim to achieve a number of general learning outcomes:

• Promoting self-esteem and confidence in one’s ideas
• Developing speaking and listening skills
• Encouraging team-work, co-operation and respect amongst peers.
• Create a relaxed and enjoyable medium through which students feel comfortable in expressing their thoughts and in contributing to projects.

Workshops

We offer drama workshops for participants of all ages and abilities. We tailor the sessions to mee the need and requirements of individual groups. With advanced notification we can develop a workshop based on any issue, subject, theme or curriculum topic. For all school's workshops we look to ensure the content meets learning requirements.

Workshop sessions usually last between 1 and 2 hours, but can be shortened or extended where necessary.

PPA Cover

We are available to cover your PPA sessions for half term or termly periods. We work with each class on a different drama project. The projects can be linked to the school curriculum, encouraging pupils to use their classroom knowledge while building on their speaking and listening, concentration and co-operation skills. Recent examples include Narnia, Roald Dahl, The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch, Under the Sea, Journey's, Mime and Movement, Bullying and PSHE: Perseverance.

School Productions

Spit Spot Theatre have a wide experience of working with school casts to put the finishing touches on their school productions. We look at performance and staging skills, in addition to developing characterisiation and vocal techniques. Children benefit from having trained professionals view their work and give them constructive feedback. We are also available for longer periods of time to direct entire productions.
