Spark Training is one of the latest Cultural Partners to offer drama workshops. Delivered by Jacqueline Hobson, workshops are based on 'The Fish! Philosophy'. Using this philosophy, Jacqueline uses drama as a motivational tool, to develop a positive, empowering environment for learning.

Jacqueline has recently delivered a series of workshops at St. Agnes Primary School in Ryton. Based on The Forest Child by Richard Edwards, the workshops explored characters and storytelling in a fun and stimulating atmosphere, culminating in a performance. Jacqueline also provides a teacher's resource pack, allowing Ambassadors to continue the workshop.

The network involves a number of drama-based Cultural Partners, including Live Theatre, Konflux Theatre in Education, Monster Productions and Patsy Burn. Full details can be found in the Directory of Cultural Partners. If you have not received this by post please contact Hannahmackay@gateshead.gov.uk
