The Uplifting Plays

A Playmaking One Production

Playmaking One is the first course that a child (aged 9+) takes with Scene & Heard. We run two of these courses annually. Each course involves 8-10 children and is constructed as follows:

• Eight weekly after-school classes: working alongside volunteer theatre professionals the children are taught basic drama and playwriting skills, both as a group and individually with their adult partner. The classes culminate in:

• The Writing Weekend. This takes place at the end of the classes. Each child is partnered with an adult theatre professional, who acts as their mentor and dramaturg, assisting them in writing a ten-minute, two-character play.

• Rehearsals: take place over a two-week period and the children assist in the directing process. Each child is assigned two professional actors and a professional director.

• Production Week. The plays are produced to a professional standard at Theatro Technis, a local fringe theatre in Camden Town, London. The children attend each of the four public performances. They sit in a specially designated chair during the performance of their play and join the actors on stage during the curtain call.
