CREATIVE WORKSHOPS
Trinity Theatre offers bespoke workshops for nurseries, preschools, youth and community groups, primary and secondary schools. These are either run by the Trinity team or by our associate artists and visiting production companies.
These workshops are tailored to what each school wants and can focus on:
- Drama
- Storytelling
- Dance
- Technical theatre (lighting/sound)
- Craft
- Make-up
- Photography
- Film-making
- Set design
- Puppetry and puppet making

For example, we can create a session based on a theme or particular book you are studying and then run a drama, craft, costume or puppetry workshop alongside it. Or we can focus solely on a story with interactive moments for the children to get involved with.
We can visit you in school, or, if the theatre is free, invite groups to have workshops at the theatre.
Sessions can run for an hour, up to a whole day, be a one-off or a series. There are many options, and we are happy to discuss them with you to create the perfect workshop!
The theatre also offers Arts Award Discover, Explore, Bronze and Silver, a programme designed to support children and young people who want to further engage with the arts. We can run these for small or large groups and support the children and young people in their learning as they work towards gaining the qualification. Please contact Katie at schools@trinitytheatre.net for more information.

Seeing my mum do it, the benefits of it are numerous… she’s so enthusiastic and it motivates her to come out. Seeing her socialise and meeting people. It gives her something to look forward to. It’s the one thing we’re able to come and do that is true joy and fun and it’s so nice seeing her laughing and smiling each week

SPEECH BUBBLES
Where Stories Come to Life!
Speech Bubbles is a national primary school drama intervention supporting children’s communication skills, confidence and wellbeing.
The Speech Bubbles approach encourages children to tell, act out and reflect on their own stories. Our practitioners use a thoroughly proven structure and their expert knowledge of whole-body communication to promote children’s communication, confidence and wellbeing.
Speech Bubbles sessions are a different kind of experience to a clinical intervention; practitioners work to create a low-pressure space which reduces anxiety, feels safe, playful and fun!
The programme has been running nationally since 2008, and Trinity Theatre is proud to have been delivering it across Kent since 2017.
To find out more about Speech Bubbles, please contact Jason or Katie by calling 07826000285 or schools@trinitytheatre.net
