Theatres, public venues and special events
We do much more than just school performances…
Theatres and public venues
All Cat's Grin productions and workshops are available for presentation at theatres and public venues. Please call Jade or Don to discuss your requirements.
Weekend/holiday workshops into performance
The Cat's Grin performance, followed by a Special Series of Workshops/Rehearsals, leading to a performance (or two) by the children. Consisting of introductory theatre games to relax the children and introducing the important dramatic skills of vocal and physical clarity, listening and use of imagination. This will be followed by work on characters and narrative ideas from stories linked to a central theme, e.g. Pirates, Fairies, Animal Kingdom, Time Travel. We will then rehearse our show, which the children will be presenting to their school/families/friends/general Public. During rehearsals we will look at how to portray the various aspects of the story – e.g. characters, setting, words and atmosphere – in a dramatically engaging way. For this purpose we will look at the use of movement, body, music, sounds and narration. Depending on the size of the production and time, there may also be sets to paint, props and masks to make plus costumes to put together.
All-day entertainment
All-day entertainment for a special event. Choose a show lasting one hour, followed by a treasure hunt, games and face painting. The Wind In The Willows is an ideal show for this event.
Half-hour shows
