S03E12 - TIEing Things Together

TIEing Things Together  It is often said that children learn better when enjoying themselves, which is probably why theatre is such a wonderful medium through which to reach young inquiring minds. And this week’s Drewling Samantics guest couldn’t agree more! Today Drew and Sam are visited by talented and dedicated actor, director and producer Callan Durrant. Primarily working in the world of Theatre in Education, or TIE, Callan is artistic director of Reflex Theatre, a successful and dedicated theatre company taking plays, stories and workshops into schools. He talks to the chaps all about his drive to educate through theatre, and how, working closely with his writer and performer wife Megan, they have created accessible productions dealing with serious subjects affecting children and young adults, that broaden understanding and tackle delicate areas of life and experience. Callan certainly isn’t all serious though, he is also an accomplished comedy performer and has produced and starred in musical shows, proving a variety of skills is a big strength in this industry. So join Drew, Sam and Callan, the final guest of Season Three, to find out all about the world of educational theatre and enjoy a fair few laughs along the way too!  Social Media Facebook.com/DrewlingSamantics Instagram.com/DrewlingSamantics Twitter.com/Drew_and_Sam  Youtube.com/channel/UCUoVYL_Qzd_hgwzCCd2dafQ Facebook.com/ReflexTheatre Instagram.com/ReflexTheatre Twitter.com/ReflexTheatre https://www.ReflexTheatre.co.uk/ RSS Feed https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1696714.rss Music  Vlad Gluschenko - Sunny Winter Day  Creative Commons Attribution 3.0  https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en Ping us a message - we love to hear your thoughts!
