Theatre in Education (TIE) uses drama to educate audiences on important topics in an interactive and entertaining way, with popular subjects including anti-bullying, sex education, and health issues. TIE companies adapt their productions to different locations and audiences, and there are many established TIE companies throughout the UK that provide educational drama productions and workshops in schools. Outreach drama also uses performance to engage communities on social issues but works more closely with specific community groups to involve them in the creative process.

4. •Theatre in Education or TIE was originally formed in 1965 by actor
Roger Chapman at the Belgrade Theatre in Coventry. A group that
consisted of actors, teachers and social workers were brought
together to create a community outreach team.
•It planned to involve theatre professionals directly with the
education of school children. However, now it refers to all
professional theatre involvement in school education.
• Different companies will be defined as TIE companies and will
travel around the country giving lectures and workshops. Chapman
wanted theatrical education to be more involved and involving. The
original company was largely made up with actors and professionals
who already had teaching experience.

5. "The Belgrade currently runs one TIE project on an
annual basis, Big School, a project about transition from
Primary to Secondary school. The theatre is open to
developing new projects on request, and was recently
commissioned by the Minority Groups Support Services
of the Local Authority to create The First Time I Saw
Snow to support schools in their handling of the arrival
of large numbers of pupils from new incoming
communities in the north of the city."

And it is an effective way to educate people and really raise issues , and is a
popular career for actors.
and is a good career as an actor.
Here are examples
of some of them:

7. Complicite
A theatre group in which the only aspect that has stayed the same since it
was founded in 1983 is that everything changes. Each production is
different from the last, although some things can be identified as more or
less constant. This includes working collaboratively, having designers
involved right from the start on any production. There is a strong
emphasise on the performer's body, every rehearsal involves lots of
games, physical exploration and improvisations. Their productions often
involve technology, such as projection and cameras.
As a touring company they receive funding from the Arts
Council England and private donations. They started off
doing drama workshops with schoolchildren, before
creating their own productions ''We needed to make a
piece of theatre that would be accessible and entertaining
at the same time. We wanted it to tour, to get an audience.
That was important.' From a small touring company they
are now a company with an international reputation for
innovation touring their productions in
Jamaica, America, Holland, France and Italy.

remember important messages that will help them stay safe, gain
confidence, now, and in the future.'
They produced an anti-bullying play titled BU-11-Y The Virus, it explores how
bullying can spread like a virus and can lead to severe unhappiness in children and
young people and offers strong solutions to prevent it. The play had been written
due to a huge demand from schools across the UK and has been tailored for the
needs of young people and teachers to help them combat bullying in schools, with
their target audience of Age 7 - 11 Years (KS2) and Age 11 - 14 (KS3). They also
produce many road safety themed plays in support of Theatre in Education.

9. M6 Theatre Company:
They specialises in creating relevant productions for
young audiences. Founded in 1977, they create
theatre that: ‘ignites the imagination, nurtures the
heart, and challenges the mind’. Their highly
acclaimed productions tour nationally and
internationally and locally to schools and community
settings.
One of their plays One Little World only includes one
spoken word yet keeps audiences as young as four
engaged throughout 'I was amazed that so many 3
and 4 year olds were engaged by the acting even
though there were no words'.

10. Altru Drama
is a company that was born out of a desire to use drama as a tool for social
and personal change, particularly with children and young people. They do this
by providing high quality, sustainable drama performances and workshops for
young people across the Northwest and, increasingly, the UK. They produce
several T.I.E projects that ' can be a purposeful and enjoyable part of every
child’s school life – giving children and young people the chance to explore
ideas, develop opinions and make choices'.

companies providing performing arts and creative arts based learning 'The best
learning results are achieved by making learning seriously fun and play-full.'
They offer a range of touring productions that take on relevant issues within
society from road safety, multi-cultural, yoga and many more.

12. -With T.I.E, funding is a big issue, You
need to be able to have money to
start a process , for things like
costume, props and set etc. You need
money for travel and accommodation
before you can even receive money
for performances.
-Having some money is essential to
progress , there are many means of
funding , and different avenue’s.

14. There main motto is that they ‘develops and invests in artistic and cultural experiences that

15. A national organisation that helps to fund local communities all over
great Britain to fund projects that give people better chances in life , to
build stronger communities and a more active community which
theatre and drama can do , Drama can be there to entertain , inspire
and build communities. They can fund between £300 and £10,000 , I
think this is a really good organisation and something that could really
help a small company who want to make a difference.

16. Drama and dance awards:
Your local community?
Your own council:
Looking even more locally, your local
councils could fund community projects,
looking at the royal borough of
Greenwich where I come from they take
in applications for these sorts of things.

17. -In T.I.E there are so many companies starting off and trying
out, and not everyone can get funded through things like the
arts council , it’s a risky business with a lot of hard work and
working with nothing before you get something
-Effectively you may spend more than you earn towards the
beginning.
-Most of the time is spent making money than actually
working.
-Anti bullying week comes once a year , and if your company
for example specialises in this , they may be out of work. So
you may not be able to earn
-It is not a completely reliable job.
.

18. -Outreach Drama originated from community theatre.
-It is theatrical performances in relation to particular
communities, for example people of a certain ethnic
background, it is theatre made by and made with the
community with no outside help.
-They are usually non-profit businesses and usually use all
devised work! Can be used in many ways through
parades, carnivals and shows!
-It is a way of getting important social purposes out through
entertainment, and has more meaning than just a 'show'! it is a
way to influence people through theatre. It is a way to get
everyone involved and make a point about something.
-Community Art could be loosely defined as a way of creating
art in which professional artists collaborate more or less
intensively with people who don't normally actively engage in
the arts.
-Known as amateur , but effects people’s lives.
-Way to improve and make a stand in the community.

20. The National Gallery
is committed to maintaining and developing sustainable outreach programmes as we
believe that everyone – regardless of age or background – is entitled to experience,
enjoy and be inspired by the paintings in this collection. It is a way for people to
create actual art.

Outreach Drama?
IDEA? :
Battle of the bands
If your organisation has the facilities, you can put together a battle of the
bands to reach out to your community. Invite local bands to audition for
the top five or seven spots, and allow each band to play a set during the
event. Using a panel of judges or audience voting, choose the top band.
Arrange for food vendors to keep audience members satisfied during the
event.

21. Community Theatre Project and
Kidz on Stage in Folkestone.
The Community Theatre Project and Kidz on
Stage were established in 2005 by Bob
Osborne and Neil Hunnisett. The aim is to
encourage children in the Shepway area to
take part in projects where they could act,
dance, sing and learn about all aspects of
theatre.
Many shows later and hundreds of children
have taken part in these productions, helping
them to develop their performing skills and
build in confidence. Now, regular projects
include 2-week productions held in school
holidays and the highly successful annual

22. The difference between outreach drama and T.I.E is that outreach drama is a lot like
community theatre, Theatre Company’s come to community’s and work with young adult,
children that are under privileged or that are in a social group to get them off of the streets
and doing something positive for the community. T.I.E is to educate the audience. T.I.E is
where company’s set up their own funding to tour the UK and over sea’s much like Outreach
theatre companies. They both are similar by the fact they work within the community and
have positive outcomes by their pieces of theatre. Outreach is a tad different because they
work close with the target audience with workshops or even getting they involved in the
production. We believe that they both have a positive and different takes of performance
and they are both creating theatre that is important and that helps educate their audiences
or community.

23. Liaison with outreach and T.I.E.
With T.I.E and outreach, it takes a while to set up good
connections and to initially set up a project. It takes time
and patience and a lot of commitment. Liaison is needed
to communicate and to set things up and get things
underway.
A liaison officer or LNO: A person that liaises between two
organisations to communicate and coordinate their
activities. The liaison is the first point of contact, it is the
stepping stone between the companies.

24. As a liason officer must:
- Firstly find out who you need to contact, you must know about
the project.
- You start by contacting the organisations you will be working
with, on a professional, formal level.
- You can start to set up meetings if necessary. And raies issues that
need to be addressed : for example spacing and layout, need to be
addressed with the organisation.
- You must keep in contact with the your chosen companies ,
without being too persistent.
Ways of contact:
Email –This would be a good point of contact, a quick and efficient
way of directly contacting.
Telephone – This would probably only be necessary for important
consequences.
Face-To-Face meetings – This would probably only be necessary in
the early stages.
