Theatre in Education

On November the 30th, we will be doing a performance to a local first school, Browick Road. This is called Theatre in Education or 'TIE'. TIE is a different approach to learning where children can learn through theatre rather than by textbook and whiteboard. Our performance will be aimed at 6 and 7 year olds and will be an easy to understand performance about neglected toys being donated to charity. On September the 28th, we watched the 'Tiny Giant Theatre Company' perform a TIE play to teach us about seatbelt safety, in a way that was aimed at 13, 14, 15 year olds. It got it's message across well, although i felt it was slightly patronising.

  1. Well done some research on TIE and reference to a TIE company you've seen in action.
