Birmingham Hippodrome Launches First Education Conference this March

Birmingham Hippodrome’s first ever Education Conference for teachers, educators and artists across West-Midlands will take place on Monday 31 March.
The Hippodrome Education Conference will provide an opportunity for teachers and artists to engage with award-winning theatre companies enhancing skills and knowledge. The day will provide strategies and inspiration to take back to the rehearsal room or classroom.
The programme will include a keynote address, workshops and a Q&A session with professional theatre companies: The Paper Birds, Geese Theatre Company and Highly Sprung. Starting at 9am and finishing at 5pm, the day also provides opportunities to network and connect with the wider sector.
Recognised as UK leaders in devised verbatim theatre, The Paper Birds collect stories, spend time in communities and listen to personal experiences; their work provides a space to amplify the voices of everyday people, inspiring change through the theatre they create.
Geese Theatre Company use theatre and drama to enable choice, personal responsibility and change, amongst individuals. Their work in education is for staff working with young people who present as difficult to engage, using masks and how they are used as coping strategies and defence mechanisms.
Highly Sprung create inspiring performances and experiences using physical theatre, enabling better futures for children and young people. Their work with and for children and young people produces bold, spectacular performances and unforgettable experiences, in unexpected way, spaces and places.
