Every week during term time 18 groups of children aged from 5-16 meet across Oxford and Oxfordshire to work on classic stories, devise their own plays and make new friends. Our aim is to introduce children to Shakespeare, classic stories, characters and texts in an imaginative and unique way. As well as developing their performance skills we seek to inspire a love of literature that will stay with them their whole life.
Every holiday, we run Put on a Play in a Week workshops. Join the Creation team for a week where we get to grips with the text and rehearse, whilst playing a lot of games, then on Friday, we invite friends and family to come and see the final show. The show will usually take place at 3pm on the Friday, this will be confirmed during the week.
Creation Young Company is a group of theatre makers aged 16+ who create work that is inspired by the world around them. The company meets for two hours a week over a 24 week period from September to April and over this time will build and stage a full length play. The group explores acting, writing and devising through weekly workshops and also has the benefit of guest practitioners throughout their time with us.
At Creation we know you’re always looking for new and inspiring ways to bring your curriculum to life and we’d love to help. Our lively, exciting, physical, dynamic workshops aren’t that easy to explain on a screen! We’ll tackle storytelling techniques in Arabian Nights or get to grips with the finer plot points of Macbeth, we can spend a whole morning clowning or get 100 students to perform A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
