A Little Bit Lost – written by Rachel Lewin
Our wonderful Slade 1 group bring to life the universal concept of loss in this moving and thoughtful performance. Sometimes with humour, sometimes with tears, this little word takes us on a creative, emotional and impactful journey from seemingly trivial problems to global concerns.

Based on thoughts, ideas and improvisation work our Slade 1 members explored what loss and being lost means to them. Looking at real-world issues through drama gives children a wonderful opportunity to discuss and explore subject matters, take real ownership and, importantly, feel they are making a difference. Combining this with key performance skills and stagecraft all adds up to an exciting and engaging experience for all.

Fossil Hunter – written by Mary Benzies
Mary ‘s dreams have turned to nightmares ever since her Mum passed away.

One day, her teacher introduces the class to the story of the famous fossil hunter, Mary Anning, and the lines between the past and the present start to become blurred. With her trusty companion Ty, by her side, Mary finds the courage to dig and find what she has buried inside.

Fossil Hunter is a moving and uplifting story about the power of looking to the past and finding the courage to face the future.
