In early September we held the first rehearsals in our new film and rehearsal studio. Itā€™s such a joy to finally have our own creative space with full control over the environment. Our teams are already reaping the benefits in terms of having more time to rehearse. Here are some pics of our team rehearsing and filming their show for schools across Essex on behalf of Safer Essex Roads Partnership

Thanks to all the team for their hard work over the summer to transform this space and to Pixelwave Creative for their fantastic filming and editing.

Three years ago, ā€œInseparableā€ was first experienced by Scottish schools. Since then, its reach has grown, but itā€™s the impact that means the most. Conversations are being sparked, perspectives are shifting, and the memory of those lost at Srebrenica is being honoured in classrooms across the country.

Inseparable follows three young people whose lives are upended by extremism and hatred during the Bosnian War, a story that carries the same weight and urgency today as it did 30 years ago.

The project is supported by Beyond Srebrenica and The Gordon Cook Foundation.

Calling Essex schools, this one is for your Year 11s!

Dead End is a FREE road safety programme from Collingwood Learning and Safer Essex Roads Partnership, and weā€™re looking for schools across Essex to get involved this September.

A team of three professional actors comes to you, performing a powerful, age-appropriate piece, followed by an interactive workshop that explores young driver and passenger behaviors, getting students genuinely thinking about risk, consequences, and the choices that matter. Teachers also receive a follow-up lesson plan to keep the conversation going in the classroom.

No cost. No travel. Just real, impactful theatre delivered straight to your school.
