Tik-sho-ret Theatre Company was set up in 2004 in order to promote Israeli and Jewish theatre, encourage collaboration with people from different cultural and artistic backgrounds, and establish educational theatre projects for professionals and communities around themes of communication and co-existence.
We would be interested in setting up collaborative projects with artists and people from other cultural backgrounds. We aim to work both with actors and other professional theatre practitioners, as well as with specific community groups.
PAST EDUCATION PROJECTS
Ya'akobi and Leidental Drama Workshops: to accompany the full production of ‘Ya’akobi and Leidental’ we offered schools Drama workshops based around physical theatre.
Physical Theatre…absurd theatre…status…objects…fun…
Don’t miss out!
Tik-sho-ret theatre company invites your school to a one–off Drama workshop.
Hanoch Levin was a major creative force in the development of Israeli theatre. Levin’s illustrious career spanned over 30 years with more than 50 plays to his credit. His unique writing style, which is close to the Theatre of the Absurd has become an enormous source of inspiration for a generation of Israeli dramatists. His work continues to be performed in Israel and around the world to great acclaim.
Inspired by the themes of this play, we are offering the opportunity to experience an exciting one-off Drama Workshop, which aims at key stage 3 students. The workshop will explore:
- Physical Theatre skills
- Theatre of the Absurd
- Status work
- Bringing objects to life
These workshops promise to be experimental and distinctive in what they explore. If you feel that this kind of work will be beneficial to your school please do not hesitate to contact us and we can arrange a time which suits your needs.
If you would like further details, please contact Ariella Eshed at info@tik-sho-ret.co.uk or tel. 07961 345 736.
CULTURE AND IDENTITIES WORKSHOPS
A series of educational workshops held in conjunction with the Identities photographic exhibition at
the London Jewish Museum in July 2006.
Through drama-based work, students had the opportunity to develop their response to the photographs and wider themes inspired by the exhibition, as well as explore issues around cultural diversity.
The workshops encouraged informal learning about Citizenship for years 7 and 8, complimenting, in particular, Unit 4 Britain, A Diverse Society, and also Unit 14 Developing Skills of Democratic Participation components of the Key Stage 3 national curriculum.
The Identities exhibition marked the 350th anniversary of the re-admission of Jews to Britain, illustrating the diversity of roots and experience among Britain’s minority communities. It included a collection of work photographed by members of the community depicting themes around Community, Family, Home, Festivals and Life Cycle. Our drama workshops allowed students to explore creatively some of the experiences behind the photographs, and relate them to their own cultural background.
Feedback from participants:
- "There's a lot of different cultures I've never thought about"
- "I learned more about Jewish culture and what it means"
- "I've learned that our community is really multicultural"
- "During this workshop I learned a lot about my classmates and got to know them better"
- "I liked the acting because it was fun and active"
