Acting and Workshops Tour

Job Outline

We are recruiting actors to participate in our ‘Acting and Workshops’ tours, which will form several groups, each of which will tour various regions of Italy. Our repertoire will include thoughtful and interactive adaptions of Fairytales and English classics as well as original comedic sketches. Performances consist of material adapted for a particular language level, focusing on a particular theme and grammatical point. This group works exclusively with primary and middle school age groups.

Repertoire:

3 Fairytales:

The Ugly Duckling. CEFR Pre-A1. Ages 6-7 years old
Matilda. CEFR A1. Ages 7-9 years old
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. CEFR A1/A2. Ages 9-11 years old

6 Sketches:
Shows to be confirmed. CEFR A2/B1. Ages 9-14 years old

Each show is followed by a 30 minute workshop. The actors split the audience into smaller groups and run approx. 30 minute workshops which include games, songs and activities relating to the didactic element of the show. Each actor will work with approx. 20 – 30 students in each workshop. All workshops are part of the repertoire and are prepared for you.
