We're thinking of all of you teachers during this lockdown. We hope that some of our resources might be able to help with online lessons and remote learning
The NT Collection for Schools on Drama Online is free for state schools and can be accessed remotely. With 30 productions available to watch and with lots of resources from rehearsal diaries and youtube videos, these might be useful! More here: http://bitly.ws/b2MS
We've got the Dick Whittington Panto Pack - full of theatre and design activities to do at home (scroll down the webpage to find the download link) https://nationaltheatre.org.uk/shows/dick-whittington
For secondary schools, there are lots of videos on youtube which might support practical working. Warm up physically here: http://bitly.ws/b2MY or warm up your voice with http://bitly.ws/b2N2
And for primary schools, families can sign up for Madame Kalamazoo - an interactive storytelling project delivered by email https://www.madamekalamazoo.com/
If you teach KS4 and 5 you might want to look into our online Archive Catalogue here http://bitly.ws/b2Nb where students can explore past productions through archived materials. They could chart the careers of notable actors or creatives or one show through the years
@NTConnections have shared Making Connections, video interviews with actors designed for young people. See more on their twitter!
For primary aged children, we've created Let's Play At Home, which can be seen here: https://www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/sites/default/files/lets_play_at_home_final.pdf Lovely option for younger students and families
For KS4+ you can also access the New Views workshop plans and script extracts to explore playwriting, as a group or independently http://www.new-views.tv/
The Drama Teacher Conference in Feb half term will also share lots of examples of working creatively remotely. We've got interactive sessions and pre-recorded masterclasses. See the full programme here: https://www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/learning/schools/secondary-and-fe/teachers
You can also check out the Black Plays Archive here: https://www.blackplaysarchive.org.uk/#:~:text=The%20Black%20Plays%20Archive%20supported%20by%20Sustained%20Theatre,British%20play%20produced%20in%20Britain.%2000%3A00%2000%3A00%2000%3A00 With interviews, script extracts and information about the first production of every African, Caribbean and Black British play produced in Britain
