This month Holly Barradell is in conversation with Anne Langford, co-creator of Helen Crevel’s original audio piece Seedling – that focuses on potential motherhood, environmental responsibility and consumerism – will be installed alongside a new audio piece for children and young people under 12. Housed in a specially designed space, audiences are once again invited inside to hear the piece, feeling like they are entering a domestic space, someone’s home, with the dome-like shape covered in textiles and fabrics. Co-created with Years 3 and 4 at Cottesmore Academy, Rutland, the project captures and amplifies intergenerational stories of multicultural family heritage. Seedling also aims to make discussion around the climate crisis more accessible and more easily understood.

In this month's episode we've done something slightly different, our co-founder Karen Latto recorded the content live from Churchill College at Cambridge University for the ESU's (English Speaking Union) prestigious Churchill Public Speaking Competition, sponsored by the International Churchill Society. It is the largest such contest in England and Wales, with around 400 teams (each comprising a speaker, questioner and a chairperson). The different roles allow students, from Years 9 - 11, to practise and excel in different skill sets, and the competition’s unique format, which pairs the speaker from one school with the chair and questioner of another, encourages quick thinking and relationship building. We were thrilled to be there for the live event and to be able to catch up with Annabel Thomas and interview her to give us more understanding and context to the whole event. We hope that as teachers and theatre educators you gain some insight into the ESU's work and the opportunities they offer for young people.…
In this month's episode, Ali Warren is in conversation with Michael McCabe, Executive Producer for Wicked. Michael has been the 'custodian' of the production for the last 17 years having looked after the performance since it moved from Broadway to London in 2006. This powerful production explores friendship as the main and overarching theme rather than a performance about romantic connections, it's also a production showcasing women on stage with the main roles. Michael talks on Half Hour Call this month about his pandemic project ' Wicked Active Learning ' which was able to be built when the pandemic closed theatres and Michael could dedicate the time to researching arts education in depth. Through working parties and from conversations with a Drama specialist Headteacher he was able to craft and bring to life 'Wicked Active Learning' to support teachers to re-engage with commercial theatre, making the production more relevant to school 'needs' and demands when considering trips and visits . " We are all passionate believers that it's [Drama] crucial not just because people might want to come into our industry but because they are tools that can help you in every imaginable aspect of life and employment. " Michael McCabe You can read more about Michael here: https://www.michaelmccabe.net/about-michael-mccabe.php You can read more about Wicked Active Learning here: https://wickedactivelearning.co.uk/…

" Jacqui O'Hanlon " for us, the absolute priority is supporting teachers & young people to use Shakespeare as a Trojan horse through which to unlock potential " Jacqui O'Hanlon To look at the resources and services that the RSC offers follow these links: www.rsc.org.uk/shakespeare-learning-zone www.rsc.org.uk/learn/schools-and-teachers…
