We are particularly proud of our ongoing work with Loyne School, where students work collaboratively with a Theatre Practitioner on a weekly basis at The Dukes. Each year, the work culminates in a multi-media performance devised and performed by the students.
“Working with the students and staff of the Loyne School to devise ‘A Time to Dream’ has been an absolute joy. The courage, creativity and resilience of all involved is truly inspirational. We are proud of what we have created and couldn't wait to share it with an audience”. – Emma Rucastle (Freelance Theatre Practitioner)
“Our performance of ‘A Time to Dream' is the result of a creative partnership between the Loyne Specialist School and Dukes Theatre. This devised theatrical piece captures the ethos of our school and the voices of young people with learning difficulties. It showcases their journey, via the arts, to develop key communication skills to share with their friends, families and local community their personal dreams and aspirations." - Emma Flyne (Assistant Headteacher, Loyne Specialist School)
