Seven primary schools across Moray will receive the Catherine Wheels Theatre Company production of A Town Called Elsewhere in September 2008.
The performance tells the story of a man who arrives in a new town and finds it difficult to fit in. This new town seems like his hometown – the park, the cafes, the town square; they all remind him of home – but the people are different. They greet each other differently, they sing different songs and they dance in a different way.
Bishopmill, Seafield, Cullen, Millbank, Milne’s, Rothiemay and East End Primary schools will receive workshops, a performance for all P1-P3 pupils and a teacher resource pack containing lesson plans and activities for use in the weeks leading up to (and after) the performance.
Teaching staff will also participate in a Continuing Professional Development session to learn how they can use of the resource pack within the context of Curriculum for Excellence and a range of curriculum subjects including citizenship and expressive arts.
