The Norfolk Schools Project is a free, opera-based arts project that Norwich Theatre Royal delivers biannually to selected Key Stage 2 schools. We work with the older range of Key Stage 2 (Years 6 and 5 primarily but also Year 4 when in conjunction with an older year group) and do not discriminate against perceived geographical or socio-economic barriers.
For our Norfolk Schools Project Autumn 2010 we will be working with three Primary Schools in the NR13 area and using La Cenerentola as our inspirational starting point. The schools will work independently on their own projects and come together for a performance on stage at Norwich Theatre Royal on Sunday 18th November 2010.
A Free Teacher’s Workshop based on skills in listening, composing and appraising will also be held at a Norwich-based school, prior to the project commencing. Last year 100% of teachers found the session useful to their on-going work at school. They felt the workshop leaders were inspirational, engaging and it was a great opportunity to refresh their creative teaching methods by participating.
All teachers are very welcome to attend the next workshop but numbers are limited; please return the booking form to reserve your place, or telephone our Education Department for more information. By participating in the workshop you can also state your interest in having a future Norfolk Schools Project in your school.
