Learn with theatre
Polka’s experienced team of actors, directors, storytellers and puppeteers are on hand to deliver a range of workshops in your school. Whether it’s a puppet-making session exploring your favourite pets, a storytelling masterclass to celebrate World Book Day, a drama workshop discovering the wonderful women who have changed the course of history or a chance to develop your poetry skills – we will create a bespoke workshop for you and your pupils.
Inspired by Professor Barry Carpenter’s Recovery Curriculum, Polka has also created a new programme of workshops to focus specifically on mental health & wellbeing for Reception through to Year 6. These workshops sensitively explore the many questions, concerns and worries that children may be facing.
