Our Educational Philosophy

‘Children learn more if they are enjoying the learning process’, or put more simply if children are having fun they will remember more, and to this end we have created a diverse range of Theatre-in-Education programmes which both entertain and inform.

Take a look at our Circus Skills Workshop programme or our Heroes Heroines and Hoods series which covers both legendary figures such as Robin Hood and historical characters such as Henry VIII. All our education performances and supporting workshops have been created to enhance the teaching of the National Curriculum.

Storytelling with a Difference

We at bZents have developed an exciting and unique style of storytelling – the audience plays all the parts. As the story unfolds the storyteller chooses members of the audience to take on all the main character roles. This style of storytelling is ideally suited to schools and family festivals as it involves a huge number of participants. Currently you can choose from;

• ‘The Tales of Robin Hood’ – an excellent way to commence a literacy Myths and Legends project.

• ‘Don’t Mess with Bess!’- an exciting approach to the History of the longest serving Tudor Queen

• ‘Horatio’s Last Hurrah!’ – a salty tale of our great Hero and his battles against Napoleon’s France.

• ‘What-Ho Henry!’- an abridged version of the reign of this outrageous monarch

‘Our Storytelling brings Legend and History to life!'

‘Feel the Force’ Circus Activity Days

Roll up, Roll up!  The Science Circus is in Town!!

‘Feel the Force’ Circus Activity Days explore the science behind the thrills and spills of the Circus. Our Science activity days have been  developed to help learners gain a better understanding of the concepts of ‘Forces and Motion’ as required by National curriculum for KS1 and KS2.

How do objects move? Why do objects fall, speed up or slow down? All the  theoretical questions and answers of ‘Forces and Motion’ are brought to life with exciting hands-on circus themed activities. Click here for more detail
