For groups

Theatre pedagogical methods can be easily integrated into pedagogical work. For your study day, we offer a training program of up to three hours for all teachers and educators at your school – free of charge!

We adapt the group size to the respective hygiene regulations or are happy to conduct the study day digitally. In return, we look forward to your teaching staff or several classes visiting us at the GRIPS Theater.

Choose from the following focal points:

• Team spirit for class, group and staff
• Theatrical treatment of factual topics
• Theatre between stage and screen
• Theatre climate campaign

Create an elective module of the traineeship in and with GRIPS Theater! Using the example of a production, we deal with the embedding of theatre visits in the classroom. How do I prepare students for going to the theatre? How do I get into conversation with the class afterwards (playfully)? How can I make the topics of the staging interactively usable for my lessons and think further? In order to develop skills, each trainee teacher applies the newly acquired methods him or herself in the course of a visit to a performance with his or her own learning group and is advised on theatre pedagogy.

This workshop is an offer for all educators in elementary and secondary schools who would like to use the TheaterPowerPackages in their lessons, but would like the lines from the packages to come to life. Free download at: www.grips.online/bewegen
