The performances are message-focused and educational, offering a different way for students to learn. It can be incredibly demanding yet rewarding work for an actor.<\/p>\n<h3>Types of Theatre in Education<\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s no set way of delivering TiE. Some companies create shows on specific subjects and tour them, others are commissioned by local authorities to create and deliver workshops and performances. <a href=\"https:\/\/benkinsella.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Ben Kinsella Trust<\/a>\u00a0is a special type of TiE because it\u2019s an anti-knife crime charity that runs workshops within a dedicated exhibition space. One of the rooms in the exhibit is a mock prison cell where an actor plays an offender. It\u2019s a unique way of conveying the impact of choices and consequences around knife crime and offers young people an immersive learning experience.<\/p>\n<h3>Roles for Actors Vary From Company to Company<\/h3>\n<p>Some companies expect a script-perfect performance \u2013 so it\u2019s worth clarifying before you start just how much creative license you will have. Other companies give actors the flexibility to use the script as a foundation to build an authentic performance upon, as long as the key messages are hit. \u201cThe script blocks and telling the story of what has supposedly happened to this prisoner is important,\u201d says Rob Clark, Operations Manager at The Ben Kinsella Trust. \u2018It doesn\u2019t matter what the individual words say if the same story is coming out.\u2019<\/p>\n<h3>Performance Skills You\u2019ll Need for Theatre in Education Work<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Research:<\/strong>\u00a0You might receive a brief overview or information pack at the start of rehearsals, but it doesn\u2019t hurt to familiarise yourself with the topic.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Be playful:<\/strong>\u00a0There might be lots of comedy and slapstick involved &#8211; especially if you\u2019re performing for younger audiences &#8211; so keep an open mind and get stuck in!<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>\u201cHave lots of physical energy!\u201d<\/strong> says Dan McClelland, Artistic Director of drama-based consultancy\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.enactsolutions.com\/\">Enact Solutions<\/a>. \u201cYou can be told you\u2019re playing seven characters in three minutes, and you sometimes find actors being surprised at this being difficult.\u201d The fast-paced world of TiE can be a culture shock, especially if you\u2019re fresh out of drama school where you might have been used to unpacking a script technically.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Incredible characterisation:<\/strong>\u00a0Many of Enact Solutions\u2019 shows require multi-roling. \u201cActors need to differentiate between all of the characters they are playing,\u201d says Dan. \u201cThis could be physically, vocally in terms of dialects and accents. Some characters are big, some small, and some are modelled on animals! That\u2019s the fun of it. Using your body as form.\u201d<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Strong <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotlight.com\/news-and-advice\/interviews-podcasts\/the-spotlight-podcast-exploring-all-female-creative-spaces-improvising\/\">improvisation skills<\/a><\/strong><strong>:<\/strong>\u00a0TiE performances are often interactive, and you can\u2019t predict how young audiences will participate or respond. It\u2019s your responsibility to engage with contributions, whilst ensuring that you stay on track.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Adaptability:<\/strong>\u00a0young audiences are brilliant &#8211; and brutally honest! Once performances are underway, you\u2019ll quickly feel out what\u2019s working and what\u2019s not. So if some characters aren\u2019t landing, it\u2019s an opportunity to tweak and change what you\u2019re doing &#8211; providing the company you\u2019re working for isn\u2019t prescriptive about your performance!<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Ability to read the room:<\/strong>\u00a0Rob emphasizes the importance of audience awareness: \u201cLet\u2019s say you\u2019re an excellent actor and can set the drama and atmosphere, fantastic, but if you haven\u2019t recognized the young people are terrified and then toned your performance right back then young people will find that a scary experience.\u201d At the Trust, an actor must respond accordingly to each group that enters the cell. For instance, if a group is nervous, you might need to set a relaxing atmosphere. However, if you\u2019re faced with an energetic and excited group, a slightly more intimidating and dramatic tone might be required to get their attention.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Taking Care of Yourself<\/h3>\n<p>Performance skills are vital, but so is taking care of your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotlight.com\/news-and-advice\/?tags=wellbeing\">wellbeing<\/a>. Don\u2019t take things personally. If a young person is distracted, not listening, or saying negative comments, don\u2019t take it to heart but learn from their behaviour. Their reactions could actually help pinpoint specific characters or moments in the show that aren\u2019t working.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to take care of yourself. You might be dealing with hard-hitting topics, so it\u2019s a good idea to learn <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotlight.com\/news-and-advice\/parting-with-a-part-how-to-de-role\/\">how to de-role<\/a>\u00a0after each performance.<\/p>\n<h3>Getting Started in TiE<\/h3>\n<p>Get started by researching theatre companies that specialise in this type of work as they often have rolling callouts for actors. This way you can make contact \u2013 and possibly even book an audition &#8211; even if they aren\u2019t casting for a specific role.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also a good idea to get experience working creatively with young people. Whether it\u2019s through assisting with a theatre\u2019s young company or delivering sessions at an after-school club, first&#8211;hand experience is invaluable.<\/p>\n<p>TiE is not for everyone. It\u2019s a big commitment and you may find it\u2019s not the easiest of acting gigs but if it\u2019s a career path you choose to go down, it\u2019s an incredibly worthwhile one.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for more opportunities to use your acting skills in alternative ways, read our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotlight.com\/news-and-advice\/getting-work\/role-play-and-how-to-succeed-in-it\/\">working in corporate role-play<\/a> or the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotlight.com\/news-and-advice\/getting-work\/performer-guide-to-vui-and-vux\/\">opportunities in voice-first content<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em><span class=\"imgLeftSmall\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image-replace hoverZoomLink\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/spotlightuk\/image\/fetch\/w_400,c_limit\/https:\/\/spotlight-cmsmedia.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/media\/2508\/naomi-joseph-headshot.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/spotlightuk\/image\/fetch\/w_{width},c_limit\/https:\/\/spotlight-cmsmedia.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/media\/2508\/naomi-joseph-headshot.jpg\" \/><\/span>Naomi Joseph\u00a0is an actor, theatre-maker and writer<\/em><em>.\u00a0<\/em><em>Naomi&#8217;s work includes &#8216;Criteria&#8217;, an award-winning spoken word short about cultural identity and bereavement. &#8216;Criteria&#8217; is available to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/218160625\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">watch now on Vimeo<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><em>Its companion piece &#8216;Motherland&#8217; is a dark comedy theatre show which played at various festivals across the UK.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Headshot Credit: Robert Boulton<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find out what Theatre in Education is, the opportunities it presents for actors and how to get started.
