Speech Bubbles: Where Stories Come to Life! 

Speech Bubbles is a national primary school drama intervention that helps children communicate, play, learn and feel good about themselves.  

The Speech Bubbles approach encourages children to tell, act out and reflect on their own stories. Our practitioners use a thoroughly proven structure and their expert knowledge of whole-body communication to promote children’s communication, confidence and wellbeing. 

Speech Bubbles sessions are a different kind of experience to a clinical intervention; practitioners work to create a low-pressure space which reduces anxiety, feels safe, playful and fun! 

The programme has been running nationally since 2008, and Trinity Theatre has been delivering it in Kent since 2017.

Work Experience: Behind the Curtain 

Step into the vibrant world of Trinity Theatre! As a working theatre and charity in the heart of Tunbridge Wells, we’re buzzing with drama, dance, comedy, music, and cinema. Our work experience programme gives students a peek into the behind-the-scenes magic – from team tasks to vital office admin that keeps the theatre alive. 

Trinity Theatre is a “receiving house”, playing host to an array of touring shows and events. This means that our placements don’t consist of acting, performance or backstage work, however our Creative Engagement department occasionally have workshops that you can help with and we will ensure that our placements offer variety and useful transferable skills.
