We are passionate about supporting teachers and educational leaders across Northern Ireland. This year, our teacher training returns with six exciting sessions, exploring everything from the Bruiser style to integrating theatre into the classroom. Designed for post-primary school Drama teachers in Northern Ireland, training is tailored to the curriculum and informed by the specifications of all major exam boards.
We’re thrilled to invite you to Bruiser Theatre Company’s bespoke CPD Training Day on Wednesday 4th February 2026 — a full day of interactive workshops, creative training, and practical exploration designed specifically for post-primary Drama teachers in Northern Ireland.
This is your opportunity to immerse yourself in Bruiser’s distinctive physical theatre style, directly supporting your students’ GCSE and A-Level learning across CCEA, AQA, and Edexcel exam boards. As Northern Ireland’s only theatre practitioner included on all three syllabuses, Bruiser is proud to be a cornerstone of Drama education in NI — and we’re here to help you bring that expertise into your classroom.
Led by industry professionals and practising theatre-makers, the day will equip you with:
- Practical tools and exercises rooted in Bruiser’s signature style.
- Creative approaches to directing and devising theatre with students.
- Techniques to engage learners through physicality, collaboration, and play.
This hands-on training promises to inspire, energise, and connect you with fellow educators — all while deepening your understanding of the Bruiser methodology. Plus, lunch is included, so you can relax and refuel during a stimulating day of professional growth.
