Literary Dinosaurs!
So we were asked to be part of London Book fair at Olympia recently and this is the result! Fresh from our successful launch for Penguin/Puffin books we were asked if we could bring a character to life from a book called “Supersaurs”, a fictional romp in Victorian times involving factory “farmed” dinosaurs.

Total Immersion in the Story
That’s what we’ve been tasked with. Launching a book by bringing the characters off the page and into the setting to interact with people who want to learn about this new story. It’s a great one too! Dark fantasy fiction aimed at young readers, it is set to rival Harry Potter, or even surpass it,…

Not just the Pantomime but lots of role play training, managing high performing staff, as well as playing villains for Police interview training, we’ve had teams of actors out being interactive characters for immersive performances not to mention our schools workshops! January has been so…

The main point is that all…

More Fun at the museum!
We’re back at the British Museum again at the end of this month! Running another exciting, dramatic, historical workshop for the young friends sleepover, (like anyone really sleeps – it’s too exciting)!

New Talent.
As part of our ongoing relationship with our client The Education Group, we’ve been holding auditions up and down the UK. We’ve specifically been looking for new actors who can deliver workshops in character as a Roman or World War 1 soldier to schools. We realised that with an actor in character it adds much…

Viking Raid!
Really looking forward to Working at the young friends of the British Museum again, doing a Viking movement workshop. As far as we know there are little surviving dances that the Vikings did, (they must have done some), so our movement workshop is based around FIGHTING! With the help of Sam Kahn, fight director for…
