• The six weeks proposed workshops will vary as I get to know the participants and their abilities.
• I will be guided by the participants and their interests and cater to exploring what is important in their world.
• The six weeks is very general. Each week will be broken down into short time slots.
• Workshop hand-out/conversation/feedback with parents/guardians welcome to promote conversation and social skills.
• In the future I would envisage a Blue Teapot actor working alongside me to facilitate workshops, promoting inclusion, education & employment and skills sharing.

Resources:

• Depending on the size of the group, I will need at least one volunteer to help with

-Group work

-Differentiating tasks

-Toilet duties

• Prop Box (I can provide most of the resources, excluding items in red)
• 5 tennis balls, soft ball, beach ball.
• Costumes of any colour, shape, size
• Scarves & hats
• Clapperboard
• Bell
• A mat for every participant
• Books & Magazines
• Paint & Brushes
• Wallpaper/roll of paper
• C.d player or Wi-Fi to connect to Bluetooth for music
• Masks
• Clothes pegs (wooden)
• Balloons
• Other resources as different themes arise.
• A budget could be in place for outings to theatre and community workshops to promote social skills & inclusion in the community.
• A safe space to store the resources & props.
This is a very exciting course and a lot of interest has been expressed.
