Drama for good

We have been working with Altru Drama for over 10 years now. We recommend them highly. They are an invaluable part of many of our topics and we believe the Learn & Perform workshop is an important strategy in helping children to more fully understand complex situations, historical concepts or plays. The staff are always of a high quality and our children really enjoy the opportunity to learn in this way!

The performance was professional, age appropriate and very engaging. There was a great balance of storytelling, acting, singing and audience participation. Our children with SEND, some of them quite complex, were totally engaged. All of the staff thought the performance was the best they’d seen in or out of school.

The workshop was not what I expected but in a really positive way! This workshop required the children to use themselves fully to express character and create scenarios which was fantastic at engaging the children. The children were extremely sad when the workshop finished, and many commented on how much they wanted to do it again. It was a very positive experience and I highly recommend Altru Drama!

The performance was amazing. The story was great, the actors were really funny and the children loved the action and jokes. The children have been learning about growth mind set, so the performance really supported this. The children were thoroughly engaged. You are always very professional when you come, and I have to say very easy to work with in school and when organising a visit.

Fantastic! Will definitely book again next year! What an amazing day – the children absolutely LOVED this experience. Memories they will cherish! Thank you!

The kids absolutely loved the sessions! One of our children is very introverted and struggles in social situations but she came to the second session dressed in her costume clothing which means she is extremely comfortable! The kids loved the games, and all got involved. We would definitely love to work with you in the future, the kids gained so much confidence from it.

The children enjoyed the performance which tackled mental health issues in a child friendly way. They learnt how to notice someone’s feelings and how best to deal with it. The children loved the drama activities and discussion about emotions. 10/10.

The monologues were brilliant. Really engaging and the service users. Very thought provoking.
