Octagon Theatre goes active 10 May 2010

After a four way pitch Reform were tasked with the job to produce a brochure which documented the evidences and outcomes of the work carried out by Octagon Theatre’s Activ8 programme. Activ8 were one of seven theatres across the country selected to run the SPARK project.

SPARK was Provident Financials exciting arts education project.

Active8 worked closely with three local Primary schools to better support literacy objectives. The aims of the programme were:

• To provide primary school children in Bolton with an opportunity to ‘get creative’.
• To generate evidence to support our belief that the use of drama and theatre can improve literacy attainment levels for primary school pupils.
• To support children in successfully achieving the learning objectives outlined in the National Primary Framework for Literacy through the use of drama and theatre
• To create a dialogue with teachers, head teachers and creative practitioners, to share ideas and experiences with a view to establishing an example of educational ‘best practice’ in Bolton Primary Schools.

Reform’s creative solution was to produce a brochure which was image rich, friendly and an informative publication. It included many creative ideas throughout with hand drawn elements in the support of the creative idea.
