The week is full of options to unleash your child’s inner dancer, thespian or crafter. All sessions are inspired by the smash hit musical SIX, which is on the Norwich Theatre Royal stage during the week.
Sam Beal, Creative Engagement Manager at Norwich Theatre, said: “Although children have just gone back to school, we are already planning the February half term, and it is going to be a royal affair! As we have Six the Musical on stage, we are celebrating with workshops all based on this smash hit, from making crowns to Tudor dance.”
Broken into half day sessions – Dance and Drama – on 19 Feb and by age group, participants can build the perfect creative day for them.
Dance Day is an extended dance workshop exploring a musical theatre take on traditional Tudor dance. Each participant will be encouraged to input into the choreography of a group movement piece, as well as the chance to develop a solo or duet. Together, the group will produce a short, original piece of dance. No previous dance experience is needed to take part, just bring your creativity.
The Drama Day workshops are a fun and accessible approach to devising a piece of theatre, with no pressure and no previous performing experience required. Participants will warm up with games and exercises, before delving into the piece, through acting, directing and movement.
Royal Families – Crown Making (20 Feb) is a chance for the whole family to celebrate the return of Six The Musical to Norwich and explore Tudor history by creating a dazzling array of crowns and accessories from unconventional materials. Work collaboratively as a family, and get crafty, creating unique crowns and regal accessories fit for a queen (or Six!) Take part and be inspired by your family’s creativity in this accessible crafty session.
Café Royal is open six days a week to meet friends or relax after a workshop. The café will offer a free cookie with every children’s hot chocolate or Fruit Shoot during the half term week. Don’t forget to stamp your loyalty card to get your tenth drink free.
