This week our brilliant Additional Needs Officer ran a joyful SEND Drama workshop day at Riverside school. Judging from the photos it looks like our delegates had a brilliant day ending with an experience of the school’s immersive family performance. It was magical. 🎭




✨#Drama Teachers! Would you like to bring Voices into your #school to inspire Key Stage 3, 4 (and 5!) students this autumn? ✨ Our production of 'Kindness', by @Voices_Cate and @MarkWheeller, is the verbatim story of Holocaust survivor Susan Pollack OBE, who survived Auschwitz.
Calling all #NDMembers & Friends this is your reminder that our AGM takes place this Wednesday online. We are thrilled that it will open with a key note from Jacqui O’Hanlon Director of Creative Learning and Engagement at the Royal Shakespeare Company.
