Language through Theatre

The Storey PlayersStudio 6

Simon and Tina Storey offer a unique program that uses theatre to engage students to learn a new language. Tina is German and Simon is fluent after living there for 12 years. They began the program to teach the German language through theatre and are currently working with the Education Department in Victoria to bring the program to regional schools around the State. The exercises and methods they facilitate can, however, be used in ANY language classroom providing a fluent speaker of the language is present. Our workshop will provide some of these tools to the participants and inspire them to include more theatre methodology to create trust within the classroom and enable students to engage and have fun when learning a new language.
