Wild Kingdom
An exploration of emotions through drama.
Wild Kingdom is a 5 session workshop that uses a range of Drama techniques to explore emotions. It would make a great addition to current social emotional learning curriculum in schools.
In this workshop studtents will participate in warm-ups, skill based exercises, pair work, group work and whole class activities. It will see students using a range of performance techniques – including play-building, playback, tableaux, thought-tracking and storytelling – in order to take students on an emotional learning Journey.

“I really enjoyed learning about emotions and acting”
Kennedy – Year 3 Student
Thank you for coming in to our school and working with our students during a flexible, weekly timetable. Your adaptability and capacity to differentiate for the needs of the students was very much appreciated and ensured a smooth and effective class structure. The students felt safe and excited in their learning with you and were able to demonstrate significant development in labelling and acting on emotions.

Drama can be overwhelming for some children and often in the classroom I see potential for it to create anxiety. Tara had a fantastic program that instantly made all the students in my class feel valued and comfortable. I was amazed to see each and every one of them giving the activities a go and really coming out of their shells! I would recommend the Shy Chameleon Drama Co. to any school/teacher looking for a fresh and exciting way to get creative with their students. Even now the students still refer to things they learnt from those sessions. Lots of fun was had by all!
