The Scottish Sensory Centre, with the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, was pleased to host this drama workshop for pupils with a hearing impairment; the workshops were open to deaf oral and signing pupils from S1-S6.

The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland offers a BA Performance in British Sign Language and English course, the only course of its kind in the UK, offering degree education in the performing arts for D/deaf and hard of hearing students. Students develop skills in acting, movement, devising, text, film, improvisation and visual theatre as well as exploring highly visual and physical performance styles and are taught the skills to prepare them for a career in film, television, theatre and more.

This fun, informal workshop explored pupils' creativity a little further, working alongside recent graduates from the BA Performance in British Sign Language and English course.
