Literature through Drama – 6 Tuesdays, starting 1st November

Friday, October 14th, 2011

Literature through Drama – 6 Tuesdays, starting 1st November

This 6 week program will take participants through two compelling picture books – Come By Chance by Madeline Winch and Two Summers by John Heffernan. We will explore the themes of friendship, belonging and our relationship to place through this dynamic and interactive approach to literacy. While it is fine if the children are familiar with these books, it is best that they do not re-read them prior to the program.  Suitable for all reading abilities.

Georgia is an actor who has performed for the Sydney Theatre Company, Bell Shakespeare Company and Ensemble Theatre as well in film and television. She has taught for the last 3 years in the joint Sydney Theatre Company and Sydney University project ‘School Drama’, teaching teachers how to use drama to enrich their literacy teaching, and she has also taught in schools for Bell Shakespeare. Georgia ran two programs for The Hub in 2010, introducing this style of work to both the junior and senior groups.

Please email Julie (sparksandflames@soundview.com.au) by the 20th of October to confirm you would like to attend.  Cost will depend on the number of participants, but should be around $80 or $90 for the program (which works out around $13 – $15 per week).  I will finalise the cost on the 2oth of October and payment can be made over the following week.  Register your interest as soon as possible, this is such a fantastic opportunity, it may book out!
