MFL workshop and theatre plays for primary school Children
We believe that immersive experiences, such as Theatre In Education (TIE) and workshops, are powerful tools for encouraging children to practise and strengthen their Modern Foreign Language skills.
We understand the vital role of educators in sparking joy and curiosity in children. Our greatest joys lie in:
- Sharing our passion for both languages and theatre
- Creating engaging educational content
- Inspiring the linguists of tomorrow
In our productions, we infuse high energy and interactivity to engage infants and juniors in practicing and consolidating their Modern Foreign Language skills. Through techniques such as mime, repetition, games, singing, and dancing, we foster the development of listening, speaking, and cognitive abilities, including problem-solving, critical thinking, and memory.
Our two-actor performances
Both language plays are performed by an English actor and a native Spanish or French performer. Throughout our 1h performance we encourage assembly participation and invite over a dozen volunteers to join us on stage.
