Pre production workshops are available alongside our summer tour of Way Too Cool. These workshops are available as part of a package with the show to schools, or as stand alone workshops.
Way Too Cool explores what happens to us when we leave primary to start Secondary school, what happens to our friendships, our learning and how we can take care of ourselves in uncertain and changing times.
Young people said they were looking forward to secondary school for:
New friends, new teachers, new subjects, new food, sports facilitates and drama!
But there are things that concerned them too including:
Getting lost, saying goodbye to friends, maths tests, homework and being bullied.
In previous years children commented that the workshops had “taught me ways to feel better” contributing to improvements in “my mood and new things to relax”. Ava Hunt Theatre will be working with Professor Frances Maratos, Dr Caroline Harvey at the University of Derby who specialise in fully evidenced compassion training which reduces levels of anxiety, empowering children and supporting teachers.Workshops are available for teachers to book for year 5 and 6 students in Summer 2025.
