Masterclasses
Masterclasses for your students led by a member of the Icon team and exploring Icon’s approach to making theatre. These workshops are directly linked to Icon projects.
Teacher CPD
These free sessions are designed to equip you with practical knowledge and tools that will help you animate the STEM curriculum and inspire creative approaches to learning. Sessions will vary between Key Stages:
KS1 – Bringing STEM subjects to life through drama, music and performance. Blend visual, auditory and kinaesthetic teaching styles to enable students at different levels to take part collectively.
KS2 – Creative Writing & Comprehension. Delve into story structure, story content, plot devices, using language and style for the purpose of making stories.
KS3 & KS4 – Free Theatre Making workshops. Write and devise pieces of drama that open the door to building creativity and confidence.
Community Theatre Productions
We provide opportunities for schools to participate in Icon’s large-scale theatre productions alongside professional theatre performers and practitioners.
