Nonsuch:START in Detail
Over the three years of the programme we worked with Bilborough College, Nottingham Girls Academy, Ellis Guilford, Farnborough School, Bluecoat Aspley Academy & Colonel Frank Seeley.
Each school visited Nonsuch Studios or a partner venue twice per academic year for a full day each time. Starting the day by watching the performance, students then spent the rest of the day taking part in 4 workshops each. Two of the workshops were structured around the content of the shows, looking at themes, issues and the stories it contained, whilst a further two delved into elements of theatre crat and looking at how the shows were made.
All students participating also took part in Nottingham Youth Trends, with the data captured helping to shape the programming of the next year's Nonsuch:START programme.
