Tara Arts are one of this country's most respected touring companies. From Monday 17 - Friday 21 November, during National Anti-Bullying Week, we will work with Tara Arts to visit five primary schools in the borough and use performance workshops to explore ideas about bullying using one of the biggest bullies in literature; Shakespeare's Richard III.
sing up greenwich
Sing Up is the Music Manifesto's National Singing Programme, designed to place singing at the heart of every child's life, at primary school and beyond. Sing Up Greenwich is the only Sing Up programme in London, and over the next 18 months through a programme of school-based workshops, holiday events and performances we will work with 2,000 children in the borough of Greenwich.
the way to work
This autumn, with funding from the Learning+Skills Council through the European Social Fund, we embark on an ambitious two-year programme of work-based learning provision, offering those young people aged 16-19 who are not training or in education the chance to work with us on increasing their employment skills and progressing into work.
Throughout the season we also have a host of post-show talks and teachers' resources in connection with out core programming.
If you are a teacher who would like to work with us this season, a parent who would like us to visit your child's school, or a young person who would like to get involved with Greenwich Theatre, contact Susan Winter on 020 8858 4447 to discuss this season's opportunities.
