Co-creation with Children and Young People
Raggle Taggle Arts have developed a co-creation practice with children and
young people in schools – introducing participants to music, dance, theatre and storytelling in order for them to develop their own performances.
This activity has been previously delivered to students from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 3 and to children with complex physical and mental needs.
Testimonial:
“I would just like to express our appreciation and thanks for the fantastic workshops and productions your company provided for our children in the summer term.
Over 3 days, you worked with children from age 4 to 11 years and not only taught them performance and drama skills, but also historical learning. The children learnt how to improvise, write scripts, rehearse and perform in an incredibly, fun, energetic and exciting way. Many of our older pupils struggle a little with their confidence and self esteem and your workshop helped them overcome this in a ‘safe’ space. The patience, kindness and constant encouragement shown to the children was wonderful. The children were also taught how to make their own props/costumes out of recycled materials which helped them to take ownership of their performance.
As our school is in an area of high social/economic need, many of our children don’t have the opportunity to experience live theatre so it was a real treat for them to watch your production. All the children were so engaged and loved how interactive it was. It really inspired the children. It included dance, drama, mime and music; all the aspects we strive to teach in our drama curriculum.
We hope to work with you again in the future as many children have asked when you are returning.”
