These workshops explore some of the key roles involved in making theatre at the NT. All are active sessions and offer a fascinating insight into the theatre’s current repertoire, past productions and the workings of its three theatres. The workshops are led by professional theatre-makers: many are current NT artists and practitioners and all specialise in the area that the workshop focuses on.
The NT's ever-changing repertoire and three different theatres require completely different kinds of performances. Explore voice, physicality and text interpretation and look at how different texts, directors and spaces affect how actors develop a role.
Whether it's Nicholas Hytner, Bijan Sheibani or Katie Mitchell, the NT is home to directors with a wide range of different approaches in rehearsal and with different ideas of what the role of a director should be.Investigate how directors at the NT work with plays, with actors and with others in a creative team to realise a production. Students have a chance to start thinking like a director, analysing a play and making decisions about how they would direct it.
With costume, props, carpenters, metalworkers, make-up artists and wig-makers all on one site, the NT is a designer's playground.Follow the process of creating a set and costume design at the NT, from initial sketches to realisation. Looking at the work of different NT designers, and exploring how plays and spaces impact on designs, students create a scale model of their very own set design.
Seeing a production at the NT? Want to know what was going on in the director's mind in rehearsal, or how the actors have developed their performances? Our Q&A sessions are designed to give students a clear understanding of how director, designer and actors have realised the play they're seeing. Delivered by the staff director of the show you're seeing, or by a learning associate, Q&As are the ideal pre-performance preparation for students.
Our students stay in the centrally-located 3 star Hotel Umi.
Yes, there are many advantages to this. One is that greater numbers sign up which means a lower tour price per student. Another is that a diverse (two-subject) itinerary can broaden the horizons of both ‘groups’ though, of course, we can create separate agendas for each if preferred.
We carefully listen to your curriculum needs and tailor-make your itinerary to achieve the best possible result.
We can send you mini-brochures to hand out at school and a PowerPoint presentation for assemblies and parent’s meetings you may wish to hold. We also have an interactive promotional poster you can put up on walls and noticeboards. This will make it easier for you to get your students excited about your plans.
