Bert Weedon's Play in a Day: Guide to Modern Guitar Playing (Guitar)

Product Information

The performance lasts around 5-10 minutes at the end of the school day. We will be finished by the end of school. Casting: 2 male key speaking roles with 2 female supporting roles make up the main bulk of the play. There are flexible roles for the rest of the class that can be made as little of as much of as you see fit. The playwright has suggested between 8-20 roles where the lines can be divided up in any way that works for your interpretation. When we arrived at Tudor Hall we were really excited because we just wanted to get on the stage and perform. We were looking forward to showing our parents what we had done at the end of the day. When we opened our envelope, we found we had the Gunpowder Plot, and we were also given lots of information about the plot itself which was very useful. Each group was working with a professional actor, which for me was a dream come true. Our professional actor, Matt, taught us how to focus on our play, and we also enjoyed learning how to do a stage punch and a stage slap! When it was time to perform our play we were really nervous but excited at the same time. We thought it went very well and we were extremely proud of ourselves. It was so fun to learn in a different way by spending the whole day in a real theatre practising for our play. Thank you for inviting us – it was amazing! Choose this play if you have a smaller group of students who all want a speaking role. (The play can lend itself to a cast of 30.) The play explores different cultures and countries throughout so gives students an opportunity to learn information through playing a role. Lots of freedom in this script to put your own spin on how it is performed.

Very recently Play in a Week has been the focus point for many school transition and Summer School projects. Working with a number of pupils from each feeder primary school, Play in a Week is a fantastic opportunity for children to come together to meet each other, share ideas and then work together to create their very own play. The final play often takes place in the secondary school where the children will start their new schooling life together. Focus: Agro Biodiversity – The variety of different types of agricultural produce found on earth and what this means for human health. In the context of this play this refers to different types of food.

Some schools book Play in a Day® to support work in the classroom, whilst other schools book it for its pastoral benefits and to build on Speaking and Listening strategies. If you do want a specific theme for the day to tie in with the children's work, please advise our office well in advance of our visit. Casting: Flexibility within the casting except for 2 of the roles which need to be played by the same actors throughout. Can work with groups of students from 8-30 depending on how you want to stage it. Read the following short briefs and choose a play that best suits what you want your pupils to learn, or a specific topic you want to explore. Play in a Week is a popular choice for groups and schools who have a theme week, or a special celebration, as the play can be on any topic you choose. Play in a Week is a popular extension to our Play in a Day® and offers groups the opportunity to devise, rehearse and perform a play under the guidance of one of our Writers / Directors.

This performance will showcase what they have learnt throughout the day and show the remarkable confidence this workshop brings.
