As well as our in-house Burbage classes, GDA has branched out within the public sector working in partnership with Midlands based company, Bonanza Creative Ltd, delivering interactive drama workshops in primary schools across the UK. In this setting Joanne is a drama facilitator, delivering workshops to year 2, year 3, year 5 and year 6 pupils. GDA strongly believes that children engage far more when presented with any subject, if it is approached creatively.  These school workshops are great fun for pupils and teachers alike!
