The PumpHouse Summer Holidays Drama Programme

There is always something to do at The PumpHouse during the school holidays.

The School Holiday Drama Programme provides a week-long series of workshops for two age groups:

Week One: for 6 – 11 years, runs from January 16 – 20

Week Two: for 12 – 16 years, runs from January 23 – 27

Each series of workshops features five self-contained days designed to give children the chance to have a go at a variety of drama skills within the unique setting of a working theatre.

Each day will follow a theme and include drama games, exercises and activities to develop the knowledge, confidence and thinking skills of those with an interest in drama and performance arts while they have fun!

The day will close with a chance for the students to present a short performance for parents.

You can enrol your child a place for all 5 days or fewer. NB: a discount is applied for enrolments for all 5 days.

Day 1 Improvisation – a chance to develop team work, confidence and quick thinking whilst having fun telling stories and improvising scenes.

Day 2 Mime, Movement and Finding My Voice - a day of contrasts from storytelling without words to learning how to use different voices for different performance spaces.

Day 3 Scripted Drama – devising, creating, adapting, writing and staging a script – how the actors know what to do and when.

Day 4 Backstage Pass A day ‘backstage’ covering the work of the Technical Crew (light and sound), Wardrobe and Make-Up, and the Stage Manager.

Day 5 ‘PumpHouse Productions Presents a Play in a Day!’ pulling together the skills covered earlier in the week the students work towards a final performance of the week from scratch!

The cost is $50 per day or $225 for all five days.
Numbers limited to 20 students per day.
