Drama Study Tours

Study Subject : Drama

Location : Northern Spain

Prices From : £349

Duration : 8 days, 5 nights

Tour Description : Throughout the school year we run courses for drama students to Northern Spain, based in coastal resorts on the Costa Brava, one hour's drive from the beautiful and architecturally rich city of Barcelona. These popular courses include tuition on general theatrical skills or specific text work, determined in consultation with the group leaders. Our two main centres in Spain, Lloret and Tossa de Mar, offer a contrast in style and environment. Lloret is a lively, medium sized tourist resort with a wide range of amenities available from swimming and shopping to discos and karaoke bars. Tossa is a typical small Spanish fishing port, with a beautiful bay and beach ideal for swimming and overlooked by the ruins of a small castle (a venue we often use for outdoor performances). Full board accommodation is in a comfortable tourist class hotel in either resort, with 3 or 4-bedded rooms for students and twins for staff. All rooms are en suite and most hotels have on site swimming pools and other sporting facilities. Your tour will be accompanied by our experienced tutors in theatre skills who will lead your workshop course.

Sample Itinerary :
Day 1 - 2: Leaving school in the morning, we take the early evening ferry from Dover and travel on overnight through France, arriving in resort early the following afternoon. There is time to unpack and relax in your hotel before an introductory meeting with your tutors and dinner. Take an evening walk around the town to get your bearings.
Day 3: Morning and afternoon are devoted to workshops, with a 2½ hour break at lunchtime to relax and perhaps take a dip in the pool. After dinner you could go into town for an evening at a sports bar or similar.
Day 4: A full day trip to Barcelona, with a coach tour of the city sights, including the Sagrada Familia, Parc Guell, the Olympic Stadium and, of course, the Ramblas. Time may be scheduled to visit specific galleries and sites as requested.
Day 5: We work again in the morning, but the afternoon is free for a visit to the spectacular Salvador Dali Museum at Figueras, a boat trip around the bay or simply relaxing on the beach. (Please note that entrance to the museum is not included in the tour price.) An evening bowling or a similar event could be arranged.
Day 6: The morning is spent preparing for the final performances, which will be presented after lunch, either in a theatre or other venues, according to the tutors' requirements. In the evening you could celebrate the week at a local disco.
Day 7 - 8:The morning is free for last minute shopping and packing before we depart after lunch for the journey home. We arrive at Calais in the early morning and back at your school later in the day.

Excursions : Whilst in Barcelona,you can plan the day to suit your wishes. No entry costs are included. Most groups like to see the Sagrada Familia, Gaudi's unfinished cathedral and visit Park Guell for lunch. The afternoon can be spent shopping and exploring in the Ramblas area. Alternatively, book a visit to the Picasso Museum, the Poble Espanyol or the Miro Foundation. On the free afternoon, you can again choose your excursion. Transfers, but not entry costs are included. Many groups visit the Teatre-Museu Dali in Figueras.
