Arson About - INSET
A one day practical drama course with
MARK WHEELLER and ANDY KEMPE
Saturday 3rd February 2007
In this one day course Mark and Andy will share a lively range of ideas they use to help students explore the form and content of texts. Techniques explained and explored through the day will include:
• Focused games and warm ups
• The fast read
• Imaging character development
• Mapping the text
• From flat book to Reader’s Digest!
• Building body props
• Reducing emotions
• Off text impros
Intrigued? You’ll be delighted! By way of example, the workshop will focus on Mark’s recently published exciting and imaginative play ‘Arson About’ published in NelsonThornes ‘Dramascripts Extra’ series. A copy of the complete text, which is suitable for use across Key Stages 3 and 4, will be given to participants.
Mark Wheeller is Head of Drama at Oaklands Community School and the author of several highly successful plays that often draw extensively on first hand testimonies. Mark’s plays are hard hitting but always dramatically engaging. ‘Too Much Punch for Judy’, ‘Legal Weapon’ and ‘Why Did the Chicken’ have been touring schools since they were written while ‘Hard to Swallow’ has become a particularly popular text with teachers in the UK and abroad.
Andy Kempe is now Senior Lecturer in Drama Education at the University of Reading. He has worked with students of all ages and abilities and has been providing training to Drama and English teachers in the UK and abroad for many years. His most recent publications include the ‘GCSE Drama Bitesize Revision Guide’ for the BBC, ‘Speaking, Listening and Drama’ and ‘Learning to Teach Drama 11 – 18’. He is series editor of ‘Dramascripts Extra’.
Places for this course are limited so early application is strongly advised. The cost for the day is £75 (including a cold buffet lunch of sandwiches and snacks). The course will be held in the Arts Studio at Bulmershe Court. If you wish to book your place please return the slip below to Tracey Pinchbeck, University of Reading, Bulmershe Court, Woodlands Avenue, Reading RG6 1HY before 19th January 2007.
