Polka Theatre have been a leading voice in the creation of work for Early Years audiences for over 45 years. We are excited to present a new 10 week evening course for adults exploring how to make theatre for an early years audience. Join Chloe Stephens from Page One Theatre and guest speakers from Polka’s Producing and Artistic teams to develop your skills in this practical and joyful course.
Drawing on Michael Chekhov's imaginative approach to theatre making, Chloe will share ways to engage with audiences in an immediate and genuine way. You will discover techniques for devising for Early Years and be given the time to develop short pieces of performance. We will share these with a group of children at the end of the course on Monday 8 December.
This course is perfect for any artists looking to expand their knowledge of devising work, of Early Years theatre and its crucial place in the theatre ecology and for artists who are passionate about increasing access to theatre for the very youngest audiences. It is available to artists at any stage of their career.
