Arts at Work

This programme offers students an insight into arts related industries. Working with professionals in theatre, film, art, dance and music your students will take part in practical sessions in each, whilst exploring potential careers that can stem from such areas of study. They will also hear about the journey of a professional within the industry.

Community Cohesion

This project aims to raise awareness, reinforce cultural understanding and promotes community spirit. It can take the form of film, theatre or a combination of mixed media. Working with your students we will research, devise and create a piece of theatre/film that represents the local community. We can also work with feeder primary schools, aiding the transition process and improving your schools image.

Fusion

With budgets being cut and school funds becoming ever more limited, why not partner with another local school to create an arts project that serves both of your requirements. Using theatre, film, music and dance your pupils will not only have the opportunity of building relations with local schools (improving community cohesion) but also experiencing a fusion of a wide range of creative arts. It is designed to take place over an intensive 2 days with 30 young people from each school and culminate in a performance for fellow pupils, family and friends.

Homelessness

We offer hour and day long workshops that look at homelessness; the causes, true life accounts and options available.

THEATRE IN EDUCATION (TIE)

1 in 12 = Chlamydia. Dispelling myths, knowing facts.
As Chlamydia is on the increase and myths continue to surround it, this piece focuses on a young couple who discuss their opinions on the matter and voice concerns for a friend who has recently been tested positive for the STI.

I Want to Be = Career options
Commissioned by the Princes Trust, this TIE piece follows the story of Kyle; a young man who leaves school confused about which path to take and after some deliberation and advice he pursues a career in self-employment. This piece explores the importance of school and further education, and how anything is achievable with hard work.

Battered = Consequences of underage drinking
This performance follows 4 bored, teenagers. It’s Friday night and after ruling out the cinema or hanging out at home they decide to go to the park with a big bottle of booze and every intention of getting “battered”. As the friends get more intoxicated, thinking rationally goes out of the window. What will be the consequences of their actions? This piece explores peer pressure, risk taking behaviour, vandalism, aggressive behaviour, underage sex and binge drinking

WORKSHOPS

Set Texts

Whichever set text you may be working on, we can bring section to life through live performance. Alternatively, we can help to deconstruct characters, look at subtext, historical context and assist in the direction of end of year examination pieces, enhancing the existing work. However you require assistance, Round Midnight are happy to help.

Writing Workshops

At Round Midnight, we write all of our own material, the majority of which is comedy based. We offer a variety of classes in script writing

Master Classes

Round Midnight offer Master Classes that focus on current the set text in the National Curriculum. We have tailored workshops that help to animate the text, bringing it off the page, allowing it to come to life. In doing so we explore plot, character and story line in depth and encouraging student to have their own opinions on pieces of literature. Round Midnight cover all the text set by the examining boards Edexcel, AQA and OCR.

Raw Talent Youth Theatre

Raw Talent youth theatre is the sister company of Round Midnight Ltd. Raw Talent was established in 1996 and has been producing original comedy performances ever since. Raw Talent works differently to other youth theatres as it ensures that every member of the cast has their chance to shine. The shows are devised by the young people, giving them ownership over their work and the opportunity to see their ideas come to life. All of the scripts are original and written by professional, comedy writers enabling the students to continually perform new and original material.

Choir

Whether you already have an established choir or you would like to start a new one, we can offer help and assistance. We can run one off choir sessions or continued classes on a weekly basis. Furthermore, if you require extra assistance in preparation for school concerts/shows for example, we can run one off master classes, which would focus on singing technique and confidence building
