Workshops

Indigo Moon offers workshops which can be tailored to many different circumstances relating to age, abilities, educational context, and the space and support available. Many aspects of the National curriculum can be covered by such work, and for any subject, but particularly Art, Drama, English, Music and Technology. Puppetry also contains significant examples of simple physics such as forces and motion and the properties of materials and the visual use of simple fractions. Any other subject can be covered through project –related activities and through researching the subject matter, or by using a didactic approach through performances.

Some of the following workshops can last for as little as one and a half hours and many are often done in one day. All of them however can be extended to create a longer lasting project over a given number of sessions. To be reassured of the company’s experience in this area please refer to profiles.
