Jim currently devises, leads and facilitates playwrighting workshops and performances with Year 5, 6 & 11 pupils in Newham primary and secondary schools

After supporting and guiding pupils in writing dramatic dialogue and creating scenes through improvisation, read throughs, and analysis/discussion of source material, pupils are assigned parts, learn their lines and perform their self-devised 'playlets' to other pupils.

See video clip of Roman myths Boadicea and St Albans written and performed by Selwyn Primary School Year 5 pupils:
