Drama Games and Exercise Day
Tuesday 17 November 2015
Bigfoot’s Drama Game day is a chance for drama workshop leaders to get together in a safe environment and try out new games and exercises and explore different ways to facilitate those classics that we all know and love! We will look at traditional, stock games and how best to facilitate them or give them a new spin, create brand new games from scratch, explore the different ways that existing games can be used to enhance different areas of the curriculum and also explore advanced facilitation techniques to ensure that you get the most out of each and every game! All participants will receive a typed up hand-out of all of the games played on the day.

Behaviour Management in a Drama Workshop
Tuesday 13 October 2015
Dealing with difficult behaviour can be the most challenging part of a workshop leaders’ job! Bigfoot’s course will allow you to develop the skills and knowledge needed to deal with any situation. Been teaching a while and still having behaviour problems with your students? Are behaviour problems constantly holding you back from doing the work you want to do? Do you think that you have tried everything and nothing works? You are not a bad teacher and you are not failing. Carolina will spend the day looking at new techniques and observing different practises. She will aim to help you find fresh inspiration in your approach to behavioural issues by giving direct feedback and response about your practise in a fun and exciting way!

How to create devised theatre with children
Tuesday 29 September 2015
Creating a devised performance or leading improvisation exercises with children can sometimes be a struggle - particularly if the children concerned only feel they are doing "drama" if they are reading from a script or being directed in the traditional sense. Bigfoot's 'Organic Theatre Day' explores the ways in which devised theatre can be exciting and fun for young people. During the course Carolina Giammetta will explore how simple drama games can be used and developed to create environments, characters and themes.

I just wanted to email to say how much I enjoyed the course this week. I was on Crash Course in Drama Workshop Leading. It was fantastic, I learnt so much and it also gave me reassurance on some of the work I am already doing. Carolina was a fantastic teacher, I also came along to the games day and would recommend them both to other people. I hope to take part in some of your other courses later in the year
