Creative, Inclusive Workshops for Schools, Teachers, and Theatre Groups
I design and deliver practical drama workshops for actors, schools, and organisations.
Every session encourages creativity, confidence, and collaboration — whether you’re exploring acting for the stage or screen, producing a school play, or using drama to bring the curriculum to life.
I have run workshops in primary schools, youth theatres, theatre groups and for adults with learning disabilities.
Action-packed and energetic!
I have a range of ready-to-run workshops on a variety of topics from: Stories Around the World, to Fairy Tales and even exploring momentous moments in History. Bespoke workshops are also available.
EYFS
Imagination & Confidence
I can provide a range of workshops that will help to develop imagination and confidence in the Early Years and Foundation Stage. As a qualified primary school teacher, I can link my workshops to many areas of the curriculum including: Phonics, New and Old Nursery Rhymes, Stories from around the World, and workshops that will help to develop motor skills and social skills through the WriteDance programme with puppet pals Yoyo and his sister Meema.
Key Stage 1
Communication & Collaboration
I provide both bespoke and set workshops linking to various areas of the curriculum in Key Stage 1. Examples of topics and themes include: Great Wall of China, Fairy Tales, The Great Fire of London, Light and Dark (Midwinter Festivals and The Sun Wizard), Climate Change projects promoting our Global Garden and our need to recycle. I will tailor workshops to the needs of all of the students in order to make them fully inclusive and accessible.
Key Stage 2 & 3
Social & Emotional Development
Workshops for Key Stages 2 and 3 will have a strong focus on drama skills such as: mime, script writing, storytelling, improvisation, vocal projection, status and developing characterisation. The aim is to fine-tune presentation and communication skills as well as confidence and social skills. Selena can also provide workshops that link to other areas of the curriculum. Examples of workshops include: The Romans, Life in Victorian Times, The Evacuees, Standing up to Bullying (the real story of Cinderella), The Windrush Scandal, Physical Theatre, Commedia dell’Arte, The History of Pantomime, How to make a short film, Local Heroes.
