Short SEO Intro

A complete two-part, twelve-lesson drama scheme exploring six extraordinary theatre practitioners through practical, student-led devising.
Perfect for KS3–KS4 Drama or GCSE Devising preparation, this bundle develops performance skill, creativity, and critical awareness through physical, emotional, and political theatre.

Full Description

Transform your drama classroom with this rich, international exploration of performance and style.
Across twelve fully planned lessons, students discover the physical precision of Meyerhold, the ritual honesty of Grotowski, the haunting memory theatre of Kantor, the global ensemble power of Mnouchkine, the emotional movement of Bausch, and the comic truth of Fo & Rame.

Every lesson combines inquiry-led exploration, collaborative devising, and reflective evaluation — all built on the James Blundell Drama Scheme Formula (Student-Centred • Inquisitive • High Performance Learning Grounded).

The schemes are designed to flow seamlessly:

Part One builds performance control and authenticity.

Part Two expands into empathy, emotion, and social purpose — culminating in political satire and ensemble storytelling.

Each practitioner is explored through two lessons (Explore + Apply), encouraging both practical experimentation and devised performance outcomes.
