Former headteacher at Herm Island School. Passionate about the arts and educating children for the future . Writing, researching, reading- not necessarily in that order. Averse to unnecessary compliance and control

Is it just me or is there something in the air? Pressure before storm perhaps? Tempers and tantrums in the playground. Everyone seems to be antsy. π€·ββοΈ

Outdoor site specific spaces+rehearsal based techniques +Shakespeare = awakening of the senses+deeper understanding + more detailed writing+ enjoyment
