Dramatis brings your curriculum to life

Our curriculum-linked drama workshops help primary schools make learning memorable, meaningful and fun. We engage pupils, deepen their understanding and build confidence, communication and collaboration skills.

What we do

We deliver fun and engaging, curriculum-linked drama workshops for primary schools.

Led by Suzy Duxbury ATCL, each workshop uses structured pretend play to bring learning to life – helping children explore ideas and deepen their understanding.

Dramatis workshops are designed to complement classroom teaching and create memorable learning experiences, whilst helping children develop the skills they need to thrive beyond the classroom.

“A really great way to engage the children with something new.”
Teacher, St Mary’s Catholic Primary School

How we do it

Through structured pretend play (which incorporates storytelling, guided scenarios and role-play), we help pupils step inside the worlds they are studying.

Whether confident or shy, academic or practical – our workshops create a space where every pupil can participate, contribute and succeed.

Our approach helps children to better connect with subjects, explore different perspectives and gain a deeper understanding of curriculum content whilst also developing confidence, emotional intelligence and critical thinking.

“Suzy is inventive, intuitive and able to use her gifts as a drama teacher to unlock potential, develop confidence and nurture latent gifts and strengths.”
Head of SEN, at Our Lady of Sion School

Why we do it

Children are growing up in a rapidly changing, technology-driven world where the ability to connect and create matter more than ever.

We help schools use drama to encourage curiosity, creativity and collaboration while deepening children’s understanding across the curriculum.

“We are really grateful to Suzy for introducing a new, creative way to bring History alive for our pupils.”
Year 5 Group Rep, Bishop Tuffnell School

Dramatis comes from the Latin term ‘Dramatis Personnae’ [dram-ă-tis per-soh-ny] which refers to the list of characters seen in a play’s programme (and which is now more commonly referred to as ‘The Cast’).
