Throughout January and the first weeks of February 2008 Next Stage actors visited Marksbury primary school for a two hour drama workshop session every Monday afternoon with year 5 pupils. The Next Stage team had been asked to devise a series of tailor made workshops on the theme Living In The Mountains. On the last visit, the pupils rehearsed and presented a 45 minute showcase of some of their best work. The pupils had learnt about different mountain environments, had explored dangers and disasters, tourism and trekking, Fauna and Flora, the importance of teamwork and the music of the mountains. They had enjoyed miming and improvising scenes, taking part in team building activities and working in pairs and groups with the actors. Not only had the workshops helped to enhance the pupils' classroom studies but by the final session, the Next Stage facilitators were impressed at how well the young actors were able to perform to, and entertain, the rest of the school.
