New Vic Theatre Education
New Vic Education carries forward the
New Vic Theatre’s mission to be
‘A force for Change in the Community’.
Based in Newcastle Under Lyme in
North Staffordshire. They were selected
because of their recent work with
Early Years, working with families in
partnership with children centres &
schools. Their recent project ‘Story
Treasures’ focusses on developing
literacy & communication skills in very
young children.
Action Research Plan
•
To engage with young children
and families through funfilled interactive play sessions
aimed at early years to develop
communication, coordination,
concentration & creativity and
develop characters & stories
through imaginative play.
•
To work with library volunteers
and participants using drama
techniques to explore themes of
new beginnings and change and
how this builds resilience and
flexibility in people of all ages.
•
Use observations and research
throughout the residency to develop
and a inform a new performance
piece aimed at early years children
and their families to be performed
in libraries.
