Always Working Artists produces provocative and engaging performances in schools. Our school shows boast maximum theatricality, mature and original scripts, talented young performers and a swag of educational add-ons, including Q&A sessions, curriculum links, lesson plans and skills-development workshops.
Always Working Artists is committed to creating new and original plays for school audiences, based on extensive consultation with young people and teachers. Our work is contemporary and excitingly engaged with youth culture and current social issues.
Our goal is to create a genuinely theatrical experience in a school environment, using professional and experienced artists and the latest theatre practices. Our productions are both entertaining and thought-provoking. Each production comes with a curriculum-based education pack, written by current teachers.
