After completing her Drama, Theatre Studies and English degree and a spell in PR, Jodie trained as a primary school teacher while raising a family. During her years of classroom practice she saw first-hand the strong link between creativity and accelerated learning. Based on the success of her ideas in the classroom, Jodie began to explore, together with Emily Debney, the possibility of developing exciting interactive approaches to stimulate learning.
Whilst raising a family Emily trained as a Primary school teacher. As a Drama and Theatre Studies graduate, her early experiences of leading drama groups and working in educational settings fed into her years of classroom practice. She saw clearly the extent to which creativity improved learning. This passion for a creative curriculum led naturally to her present venture of designing drama-based interactive workshops for schools, together with Jodie Taylor.
The arts especially address the idea of aesthetic experience. An aesthetic experience is one in which your senses are operating at their peak; when you’re present in the current moment; when you’re resonating with the excitement of this thing that you’re experiencing; when you are fully alive.
Ken Robinson, Changing Paradigms: how we implement sustainable change in education
Communication is not only about words and numbers. Some thoughts can’t be properly expressed in these ways at all. We also think in sounds and images, in movement and gesture, which gives rise to our capacities for music, visual arts, dance, and theater in all their variations.
