Artists in Classrooms
Lost & Found is part of QPAC's Artists in Classrooms initiative, within the Creative Learning Program. Developed to extend the learning beyond the stage, these workshops are designed to be delivered in-school and provide inspiring, curriculum-linked experiences to your students.
Overview
Through Process Drama, Teaching Artists Dave Burton and Emily Burton guide students into an imagined world shaped by curiosity, challenge and discovery.
Using play, imagination, and creative exploration, students investigate universal themes such as change, decision-making, belonging, and navigating the unknown. The workshop supports students to build confidence, collaborate with others, and develop their ideas through embodied learning experiences. By exploring character, situation, and narrative in an interactive environment, students make meaning and generate rich material to support creative and reflective writing.
