Storyhouse Experiences & Mini Packages
Our Storyhouse Experiences and Mini Packages give your students the opportunity to experience a full day of activities and events, each focussed around a particular theme or issue.
Choose from the pre-planned Storyhouse Experiences, or work with our Schools Team to tailor a specific Mini Package for your students…
Storyhouse Experiences
All experiences are generally held in the Storyhouse building, subject to availability, but speak to us if you’d prefer to host in your school!
Each experience costs £500 – not inclusive of VAT, additional 20% charge for independent schools.
The Careers Experience: Performance
The Careers Experience: Performance delves into both the performance and production side of theatre.
Students will work with an arts professional to devise and develop their own piece of theatre, design a lighting and sound plan, and perform in a professional setting at Storyhouse – all within a school day!
Performances will be held in the Garret Theatre, The Atrium, Studio by Storyhouse, or on the main stage.
The Careers Experience: Events
The Careers Experience: Events explores the Storyhouse building and those who work within it – from the HR department, to finance, to chefs, to technicians – and features a backstage tour!
This experience is an opportunity to introduce your students to the vast array of jobs that make a cultural hub such as Storyhouse function, culminating in the young people planning an event and pitching their plan to a panel of professionals.
The Environmental Experience
In The Environmental Experience, students become environmentalists and explorers, tasked with identifying and resolving problems.
Our once thriving rainforest has become a victim of deforestation. What does this mean for the creatures within it? What impact does it have on us? How can we help?
Your mission is to regenerate the rainforest using teamwork, planning and problem-solving. This is a shortened version of a 6-week Rainforest Project also run by the Storyhouse Schools Team.
The Shakespeare Experience
The Shakespeare Experience sees young people explore the themes, characters, plot and language of the Bard’s work.
We approach the texts creatively, encouraging your pupils to work on their feet and speak the words out loud with the aim of unlocking Shakespeare’s language in a practical way.
The Shakespeare Experience can be tailored to your school’s requirements, with titles on offer including Romeo and Juliet, The Tempest, A Midsummer Night’s Dream and more!
Mini Package
Our Creative Learning Practitioners deliver a full-day workshop in your school or at Storyhouse.
We advocate for a year-long partnership because we believe in social impact through long-term engagement and growth. A mini package is a great way to work with our Creative Learning Practitioners on a one-off basis, to get a flavour of the work we do before committing to a long-term partnership.
We know that there are times when schools want to book a one-off activity or workshop to enhance your learning programme – we understand and can work to facilitate this!
Each experience costs £500 – not inclusive of VAT, additional 20% charge for independent schools; additional charge for Arts Award certificates.
Examples of previous Mini Packages:
CPD for teachers – either as a full-day workshop or on a one-to-one basis during lesson planning.
Arts Award Projects – where students gain an arts qualification. We can deliver Arts Award Discover or an element of the students’ Arts Award journey.
Themed workshop days – previously, we have delivered:
• An introduction to Shakespeare.
• Anti-bullying workshops.
• Careers workshops.
• World Book Day celebrations.
• Play in a Day workshops.
