Summer Schools

Services for Schools

With 10+ years of experience in summer schools, we specialise in play-in-a-week theatre projects where young people devise and perform a piece in just five days. Through script development, character creation, and performance skills, they collaborate toward a final showcase for parents and the school community. Each project is tailored to the school’s themes and values. Schools can hire Adversity Creative Education directly for summer programmes, or arts organisations can work with Bhavik as a freelance drama facilitator.
