Illuminate South Drama Teacher Conference
ILLUMINATE SOUTH 2026 Drama Teachers Conference is back for its fourth year on the South Coast!
Join us on 23 January 2026 for a full day of inspiring workshops, featuring exciting opportunities to meet and talk with theatre education specialists, industry professionals, and fellow drama teachers.
This year we will have four workshops throughout the day that will each take a deep dive into different practices. You will get to partake in all the following workshops:
- Steve McCourt from Punchdrunk Enrichment who will be exploring immersive theatre and the concept: What happens when an audience is cast as the protagonist of an adventure?
- Genevieve Say from double Olivier Award Nominees Splendid Productions, who will be leading an energetic workshop looking at devising new work using physical characterisation, chorus, and vocality.
- Commedia expert Cheryl Stapleton from Learning Through Theatre will also be joining us to deliver a session on Commedia dell’Arte in the KS3 classroom.
- Lucy Bellingham from We Teach Drama, will focus on Implementing an ambitious Key Stage 3 Drama Curriculum which ‘lands’ for your students
