Feedback from some Creation Home Delivery parents
“Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! By far the best use of technology for an online activity. Thoughtful, creative, engaging, educational, inspiring… and the little packages each week were the icing on the cake. Kids loved it, I got an hour of peace (or more!) and smiles all round. Bravo.”
“We are hugely impressed with the wonderful offering of Creation Home Delivery drama groups. Magical to receive items through the post each week, and high quality sessions.”
“We’ve all really enjoyed the sessions! Loved the ways you’ve incorporated the functions of zoom, how full of energy the sessions are, the standard Creation creativity (it’s a very high bar) and how the session leaders have made it feel so warm, welcoming and inclusive. Thank you! The sessions have been a highlight of the week during lockdown.”
“These sessions were set up so quickly and have been the only online courses that have kept my son engaged. He’s loved them. Thank you.”
“I think the idea is fabulous and it was all very well thought through and delivered brilliantly by the session leader.”
“My daughter loved doing the online sessions – they really were brilliant and inventive. Having a package arrive through the post was also great and gave her creative things to do which were a nice break from online schoolwork.”
“Such an inventive use of Zoom and the envelopes sent home were so gorgeous and imaginative. Loved the variety and scope of the 12 stories. The quality and creativity throughout has been ASTOUNDING. THANK YOU not only for wonderful classes but rekindling my faith in the power of creativity and the human spirit!”
“Creation Theatre has really stepped up again in terms of being imaginative, responsive and incredibly resourceful. We are so lucky to have Creation Theatre in our lives!”
“If the lockdown has taught us something, it is that we can learn almost anything online. However, few resources will be as interactive and engaging as the Drama Club run by Creation Theatre”. Daily Info, Summer 2020
Feedback from our Holiday Workshops
“I love the ‘Creation’ way and approach to learning about how to tell a story creatively collaborating with others. I love the way the week builds up a strong imaginative team […] we have always had kind encouraging teachers who take the care to get to know the children which is vital for successful learning.”
“[He] said he had the best week of his life!!! You are all wonderful. It seems the group have made really strong friendships.”
“The girls enjoyed all of it; building a show, having creative influence and input on the development of the performance, playing the games and meeting new friends. I love that the girls are, at such an early age, getting exposure to traditional stories/texts/languages in an accessible way.”
“She gained a huge amount of confidence from doing it.”
“It is the kids’ top choice of activity for the holidays. We are blown away by what is produced in a week. They are learning so much by having a great time with a really interesting group of people.”
“It’s creative, confidence building and both my kids love it and seem to get a lot of joy and happiness from it.”
“It does the kids so much good, as well as being such fun.”
“Creation is a great option that both children can do together in the holidays. They love the workshops, the friends they make and the skills they learn.”
“My child loves drama; they love the fact that it’s a classic text you see performed in the theatre and it’s a great supportive atmosphere. By far the best holiday club in Oxford.”
“Excellent and inspiring teaching.”
“The week also gifted the children with confidence, not only in their acting, performing and public speaking abilities, but in tackling challenging tasks and making new friends. 5/5”
The Oxford Times, 2017
“Creation provides children with invaluable life lessons in public performing, ad libbing, letting their imaginations run riot, confidence, working together and meeting new and creative people. 5/5”
The Oxford Times, 2016
Feedback from some Drama Club parents
“My son has been enjoying drama so much – we’re really happy to have found such a fantastic club.”
“I would love to say thank you so much for being so great. My son loves coming and he has always been really reluctant to go to new groups as he says he is too shy. He runs into Drama Club!”
“Through Creation Theatre our son gained so much confidence”
“She is glowing when we pick her up at the end of each Drama Club session so thank you for giving her that pride in herself.”
“Creation has been amazing for her self confidence. From Shakespeare to fairy tales it has been so good for her.”
“Our daughters love their weekly Drama Club sessions and the Put On A Play In A Week workshops they often attend during the holidays (they particularly enjoyed the challenge of putting on a ‘musical in a week’ during one of the summer holiday sessions!).”
“The sessions are hard work but fun and rewarding, for the kids and for the leaders. Everyone pulls together and the resulting productions – always imaginative and of a high standard – are clearly very much owned by everyone in the group.”
“My children become part of something amazing.”
“We really appreciate the injection of confidence Creation Theatre Drama Club has given to our girls. Seeing them act last night it was hard to believe that a few years ago, our younger daughter couldn’t even cope with standing in the back row of a preschool nativity play.”
“We have tried other well-known theatre groups and have found Creation theatre a cut above. The emphasis on classic literature really appealed to my son who loves to read. With the ability to improve on stage, Creation Theatre provides a more unique experience.”
“The Drama Club leaders are inspiring teachers and friends. They strike a magical balance of fun and hard work that brings out the best in everyone.”
“Creation Drama Club has given my child enormous confidence and enjoyment.”
