Creative Writing

Stories are embedded into our daily lives, they inform us, entertain us, and connect us to the world around us.

​

Many children have great imaginations, but they struggle to structure their stories into a written form. Our workshops help bring stories to life, enabling children to visualise the stories they imagine. While also developing their understanding of the creative process, teamwork, leadership and communication skills, our storytelling workshops help your students to create characters, give them life, structure the narrative and make their stories real, all of which can aid their creative writing and storytelling skills.

​

As a part of this programme, Theatre Workout will provide you with pre and post-worshop lesson plans to support your teaching of creative writing.
