schools
Wonderful Beast has delivered interactive shows, workshops and intergenerational projects for thousands of school children nationwide in a variety of partnerships, including with English Touring Opera (ETO), Association for Suffolk Museums, Suffolk Artlink, Creative Futures (London), and many more. It has worked in India bringing private and slum school children together in workshops and an unforgettable performance of Little Red Chunni, which launched the International Jaipur Festival 2007.
Almost all of Wonderful Beast’s productions involve workshops with schools. I Am a Woodwose (2019) partnered with eight Suffolk schools and was inspired by Thea Smiley’s play The Last Woodwose, which the children attended as the culmination of the project. First the Dance, Then the Feast (2022) involved eighty schoolchildren from three Suffolk schools, all performing together on stage in two public shows at Thorington Theatre.

'It was breath-taking. I would love to be a woodwose and show people what is happening to the earth.'
'I loved all the music and sound effects, especially as it was all made by instruments and the vocalist, no digital sound effects.'
