In the Studio

In the Studio brings drama to life through hands-on events with industry partners, open to students and newcomers, building storytelling, communication and teamwork skills through active, practical sessions.

Aardman Workshops

One of our past “In The Studio” highlights was an exclusive 3-hour stop motion animation and drama workshop in partnership with the award-winning creators of Wallace & Gromit, Chicken Run, and Shaun the Sheep — Aardman.

Stage Combat (Non-Contact) with RC-Annie

Our Stage Combat workshop gave young performers the chance to experience the thrill of action scenes in a safe and controlled environment. Led by industry professionals, students explored the foundations of theatrical combat, learning how to create realistic fight sequences through technique, timing and teamwork.

Stop-Motion Storytelling

Created with Aardman Animations, this workshop introduces children to how stories move from idea to screen. They explore character creation and storyboarding, then collaborate to bring a short stop-motion scene to life, blending animation with live performance skills.

Stage Combat Workshop

Delivered with RC-Annie, children learn non-contact stage combat in a safe, structured setting. They practise controlled movement, timing and teamwork to choreograph action moments that look convincing while staying fully supervised and age-appropriate.
