Why every Drama classroom needs you!

dimanche 9 août 2026 • Durée 06:06

Drama isn't just about performing; it's a powerful way to build empathy, communication, critical thinking and confidence.

In this episode, we focus on practical, easy-to-use strategies that make teaching drama accessible for every educator. Whether you're a classroom teacher or completely new to drama, you'll discover different strategies that get students involved from the very first lesson. We also explore how drama goes far beyond performance, helping students develop empathy, communication, collaboration and the confidence to embrace mistakes as part of learning.

And remember, if you've ever felt like you're in the wrong room, you're in the right place!

Fake It? No - Face It!

dimanche 2 août 2026 • Durée 08:50

Teaching outside your specialism can be daunting! In this episode we talk about the invisible stress educators face when stepping out of their comfort zone and shares actionable strategies to navigate the chaos with confidence and creativity.

Lucy draws from her own experience returning to Key Stage 3 drama after four years in primary education, highlighting how teaching beyond one’s expertise can trigger our fight-or-flight response. You’ll discover how to recognise and manage this stress, helping not just yourself but also creating a safe and engaging environment for your students.

Why does this matter? Many teachers carry the weight of insecurity silently, affecting their performance and well-being. This episode provides powerful insights into how embracing your vulnerability can foster stronger relationships with your students and ultimately lead to more effective teaching.

Are we speaking the same language?

dimanche 26 juillet 2026 • Durée 07:48

What if the biggest barrier between education and the creative industries isn't funding or policy, but language?

In this episode, Lucy explores the often-overlooked gap between education and the creative industries: language. While teachers and artists frequently share the same goals, they often describe these skills in completely different ways, which can make it tricky for teacher teaching beyond their specialism. Lucy explains how this disconnect can leave individuals feeling out of place and limit opportunities for meaningful collaboration.

Key takeaways:

Why confidence grows when you understand the language of the room
Practical ways to build stronger collaboration across education and the creative industries.
How a shared language leads to better partnerships, improved outcomes and greater long-term engagement.

Thank you for listening.

Starting with the end in mind

dimanche 12 juillet 2026 • Durée 06:44

Can you really teach breaking the fourth wall to a Year 3 class?

When I moved from secondary to primary, I thought drama conventions would need stripping right back. Instead, I discovered that introducing them earlier gives children the confidence and vocabulary to master them over time.

In this episode, I share how I mapped a drama curriculum backwards from Year 6, creating a clear progression across KS2, from storytelling and theatre history to masks, pantomime and performance. I also explain why curriculum planning has become one of my favourite parts of teaching and why the secret isn't simplifying drama for younger children, but scaffolding it so they can succeed.

Finding your rhythm with routines

dimanche 28 juin 2026 • Durée 09:18

One of the biggest shifts I had to make when transitioning into Primary education wasn't the curriculum, it was the routines and expectations!

In this episode, I chat about simple structures that have helped my children in EYFS feel secure, stay engaged and thrive in Dance and Drama. From using music and visual cues to manage transitions, to creating predictable routines that build confidence and independence, you'll gain insights that are rarely covered in teacher training. I also explore how storytelling can transform lessons, using my popular space adventure as an example, and I explain why learning to read the room is one of the most valuable skills you can transfer as a Specialist.

Whether you're a secondary teacher considering a move into primary education, an arts specialist working in EYFS or KS2, or a teacher looking to develop a more creative approach to learning, this episode is for you!

How do you want the children to feel when they enter your teaching space?

Whether you're teaching in a dedicated Performing Arts studio or a space you're borrowing for the afternoon, we'll chat about making the most of what you've got and why the environment can be one of your most powerful teaching tools.

Key topics:

Creating a drama room that children genuinely want to be in and how atmosphere shapes learning in drama and dance.
Teaching in a variety of primary spaces and ways of creating a child-friendly drama environment
Supporting neurodivergent learners through thoughtful environmental design
