Performing Starts Here
Switch them on with a script starter. Performing Starts Here provides scripts to prompt ideas for short dramas. While it offers themes and language that students identify with, it also leaves room for inspired students to add their own dialogue and flavour. Scripts are designed for smaller groups, giving students choice about the performance they want to be engaged with.
