Engagement in science through theatre

In this workshop, renowned UK theatre company Desperate Men discuss how they create their own unique brand of performance. With the help of audio-visuals, games and exercises, Jon Beedell and Richard Headon explain how they turn topical, scientific and environmentally based issues into comic and engaging interactive theatre.

This is a practical and participatory workshop that gives teachers a chance to develop fresh approaches in the area of creativity and science and put these techniques into practice the very next day!

Aims

-To develop creative approaches to teaching science through art and build on science teachers’ own creativity
-To enable teachers to further stimulate and fire the imagination of children in the classroom
-To promote approaches to teaching and learning that engage and motivate children and demand their active participation
-To explore curriculum links between science and art to enable teachers to enhance children's learning experience
