Very inclusive and engaging […] direct transferable skills that can be used and adapted for a wide range of ages and abilities in school.
– Teacher, Drama Teacher Conference 2023
A good balance of giving information and hands on practice. Very informative and great suggestions for taking back to the classroom and using with students.
