2019 Professional Development

In 2019 there will be two professional learning opportunities for teachers to engage with Windmill and expand their professional understanding of the creation of theatre for young people.

The first session will explore the process of developing and directing work for young children as part of Teacher’s Big Day Out in January. In the second session secondary teachers will learn about the process of adapting Girl Asleep from stage to screen, and get a peek into the rehearsal room.

2018 - Middle School Professional Learning Community

The Middle School Professional Learning Community was a joint initiative of Drama South Australia and Windmill Theatre Co in 2018. A group of teachers, from Years 5 to 9, were given access to workshops with creatives and actors across six professional learning sessions. These sessions will include interactions with professional theatre makers and the opportunity to witness the development of a major new Windmill work during its development. The workshops will support educators to extend and develop new skills, networks and gain an in-depth understanding of the creation of new Australian dramatic works for young people.
