More comments from teachers and course providers. 

Fabulous lighting workshop that taught the students more in three hours than many learn in two years of A level studies. The model theatre enabled them to have a very genuine "hands on" experience, and also gave a valuable insight into the workings of larger venues.

Thank you so much.

Kate Armes Head of drama ROEDEAN

 

Dear John,

Thank you again for an excellent morning - informative and well-pitched. My pupils appreciated its practical and "hands-on" approach and I already have two Theatre Studies pupils considering doing the technical options for their coursework - something they would not have dared to do before this workshop.

Hope we can do a repeat show next year at about the same time! 22nd November 01
