Title: [Drama Workshop] Monsters, myths and mayhem: 'The Dragon of Krakow' comes to Blackheath
Abstract: A two-day Drama Workshop for 8-13 year old children which led to a public performance at Blackheath Concert Halls, London. The performance was based on a Polish myth (The Dragon of Krakow, adapted by playwright Colin Fancy) that tells how villagers defeat a greedy dragon through ingenuity and imagination.
As Workshop Leader, Jillian Wallis led a group of 18 young people through a creative process that included improvisation, text and character work, and ensemble performance. Part of the task was to devise theatrical material to embellish an existing script and to blend the dramatic performance of the children with the visual world created by the costumes and props team.
