Big Wheel shows are
funny, fresh and focused - which makes them an ideal way to
deliver information. We have been presenting schools shows /
workshops since 1984. Students have the opportunity to explore
sensitive issues and consequences in a safe environment; young
people facing challenging decisions and dilemmas are able to
share views and consider the facts throughout the show, as well
as having a fantastic, memorable time. Big Wheel shows are an
example of TIE at its most effective.
"I
would just like to thank you for a fantastic performance! The
actors were superb and the children had a very educational,
fun and totally interactive time. We would gladly have them
back in the future!" Yvonne Marsh, Head Teacher, Bromley
Big Wheel shows are
a mixture of performance and interactive exercises. The whole
audience is involved in the show from beginning to end. This
means pupils are completely engaged, and remember what we teach
them for ever!

How
a Big Wheel Show Works.
Big Wheel shows are
a mixture of performance and interactive exercises. The whole
audience is involved in the show from beginning to end. Our
presenters work in pairs (think Ant & Dec, Tess & Bruce) with
the real stars of the show being the audience themselves. Our
presenters are experts at getting even the shyest, or most 'difficult',
audiences involved. We use this audience interaction, and different
'television' techniques and styles to keep the show involving
and entertaining. Our shows are designed to enable us to easily
explore themes, encourage thought and discussion and deliver
information. We also offer bespoke theatre workshops and SEN
versions of many of our shows. Please contact us for further
details.
"The whole
production was well managed and had plenty of student participation.
This is essential for our special needs students. The group
of actors were very flexible in their approach and adapted well
to the audience. We would love to have you back again for other
students!" Glebe School, Bromley, on our visit for SEN students
