Theatre in Education
Our outreach education programme is designed to nurture the inquisitive mind, to invite questioning and self exploration through drama, dance and music. Through story telling performances and workshops we promote an ‘I can do it’ attitude and become actively engaged with learning. To have a positive impact on young people’s wellbeing, boost confidence, build resilience and develop communication and collaboration skills. Exploring topical environmental issues and promoting positive health and well being educational. We aspire to deliver subjects in a creative age-appropriate way that inspires children to then continue to explore the topics in more detail. |

Show Days
Removing Barriers Our aim is to remove the barriers from stage to audience by actively engaging our audiences though our stories as they unfold, asking questions and welcoming them to call out and interactive with the characters on stage. Relaxed Theatre
To ensure our productions are suitable for the younger and more sensitive viewers, in particular for those with additional sensory processing anxiety and additional educational and emotional needs. we use soft lighting, reduced sound levels and have a relaxed attitude to movement and sound during the performances. Our child-focused actors aim to engage with every child watching and our enthusiastic entertaining delivery transports children into a magical world where anything is possible. Affordable Access
Through grant and sponsorship funded project work Imajica Theatre can reach out to all children regardless of personal circumstance. To find creative ways to deliver multi-sensory work to all young people, in safe and familiar environments. We provide new experiences to a younger audience, who may have found professional theatre, outside of their normal reach. 
Interactive Workshops
Cross Curriculum Workshop Days Our Workshop Programme is designed to get children actively participating in the arts through a set of workshops connected to the production they have seen. The workshops are tailored and delivered to the age of children attending (Foundation/ Reception / Key stage 1 and 2) and include drama, dance and singing. The educational workshops explore all aspects; from creation stage to performance and look at the educational messages in more depth. They are delivered cross-curriculum, with a multi sensory approach, exploring facts, information and practical solutions and ideas. We explore: History Music & Arts Physical Education
