The latest issue includes the Big Interview with celebrated playwright Roy Williams and we drop in for a coffee with the immensely talented Katy Richardson, musical director with the wonderful production Six, now playing in the West End. Our third interview in this issue is with the acclaimed musician, television personality and supporter of emerging artists, YolanDa Brown.
In our tour around the country’s specialist performing arts schools, this month we visit Drama Studio London, offering demanding conservatoire-style training, delivered by working industry professionals and in this issue’s Pause For Thought, Susan Elkin asks you to consider the importance of casting on ability and not to fulfil a quota.
Graham Hooper, our regular Exhibition writer, poses the question on what makes art galleries appealing and how can we encourage younger visitors to these wonderful calming and inspiring spaces.
As we head into exam season, here’s a quote for your students, attributed to Audrey Hepburn: “Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'!”

Ink Pellet is the only arts magazine for teachers. Published (since 1998) six times a year to coincide with the start of each new school term, Ink Pellet aims to keep English and Drama teachers updated on the latest news and views from the worlds of theatre, arts, dance and literature. Informative features assist in organising theatre and gallery trips, lesson planning, advice for school drama productions and for students looking to further their studies in the arts. 
Ink Pellet brings together interviews with the very best authors, producers, educators and performers, showcasing the most talked about exhibitions and includes theatre and book reviews, along with 'What's On' listings for auditions, courses, exhibitions, CPD, workshops and productions perfect for arts teachers and their students.

In this issue highlight the work of Oliver Gray, founder of the Illyria Theatre company, touring the UK once more this summer with four plays. Do try to get to one of the many outdoor performances near you. Also packed into this issue we look at the NT Connections festival taking place in the coming weeks, at the educational workshops from Wicked Learning, plus an insight into the courses available at the RCS in Glasgow.
Art galleries now offer many cross-curricular learning opportunities and we visit three to discover their educational offerings, plus take a coffee break with actor Rebecca 'Cranks' Crankshaw, plus the regular Book and Theatre reviews and a What's On listing for arts teachers.

With pressures on schools to offer creative outlets for students, it is vital that theatres and outside bodies continue to thrive. One such is the Chichester Festival Theatre, with its longstanding reputation for providing incredible opportunities for young performers and in this issue, our ‘Big Interview’ is with Justin Audibert, recently installed as the new Artistic Director and determined to continue this fine tradition.
Also in this issue, we chat to the team behind Wonder Fools, offering fantastic opportunities across Scotland and beyond for young people and communities to engage with and be empowered by the arts. Plus we met the driving force behind the Jack Studio theatre, a multi-award-winning venue, recently awarded ‘London Pub Theatre of the Year’ plus an Artistic Director Award in the Offies. 
We pay a visit to the highly ranked Guildhall School of Music and Drama to discover the broad range of options now offered across music, drama and production, providing lifelong learning and training for children, young people, adult learners, and creative and business professionals. A ‘cross-discipline’ approach to teaching the arts in schools is championed by Susan Elkin in this issue’s ‘Pause for Thought’ piece and we chat to young actor/singer Gil Sidaway as he embarks on his career.
With the summer term and exam season upon us, the end of the year is in sight, so remember to always look on the bright side of life…

At the heart of the performing arts is often the written word – be it an adapted novel or original play script – so it is imperative to encourage and develop a love of reading from an early age.  Building on this literacy theme, the YOTO Carnegies shortlist of children’s literature for 2024 has just been announced and there are opportunities for schools to get involved in the shadowing scheme. Applications will be open from 22 – 28 March with packs to be sent out immediately afterwards to the selected schools (see the news story in this issue’s Inbox for details).
The Big Interview in this issue is with prolific author Linda Newbery, giving us an insight into her writing process and we highlight the excellent work of Theatre Works!, ensuring more disadvantaged young people can get to experience live theatre, plus there is an inspiring interview with Zach Opere-Onguende, a young actor and facilitator with cerebral palsy, grateful for the support from Chickenshed.

Epitomizing the need to support the arts and encourage diversity, our Big Interview in this issue is with Poojah Ghai, Artistic Director of Tamasha Theatre Company, a fierce advocate for giving voice to marginalised groups and encouraging new talent. Plus, we had a Q&A with Philip J Morris, Director of the RSC’s First Encounters production of Romeo & Juliet, before it embarks on a UK tour this spring, along with Emily Grey, Chief Executive and Creative Director of British Youth Music Theatre about the organisation’s work and this year’s 20th anniversary, with big moves ahead. We also dropped into an Air Raid Shelter - an unusual resource at a primary school in Brighton, open to all school, along with theatre and book reviews and a 'What's On' listing for courses, workshops, exhibitions and productions perfect for arts teachers and their students.

In this issue we examine the need to diversify and expand the way drama is taught by introducing a wider range of texts into the curriculum. The same plays are being studied today as they were some 40+ years ago when I was at school… and that can’t be right! Society has evolved and we need to change teaching practice to reflect this. Fortunately, help is at hand. The Bloomsbury Lit in Colour campaign has compiled a list of plays written by writers of colour, which it is hoped will be incorporated into your English or drama lessons and more accurately reflect the lived experiences of your students.
Our Big Interview in this issue is with Darren Raymond, artistic director of the Intermission Youth Theatre group, who explains how he has adapted the most traditional of texts to make them accessible and relevant to young performers today. Inclusivity is also at the heart of everything Chickenshed does, and we found out how they are celebrating their 50th anniversary whilst continuing to ensure theatre changes lives.
The Theatre for Every Child campaign has been launched by the Society of London Theatre/UK Theatre, requesting that the UK government pledges a theatre trip for all children before they leave school.
With the 2023 Booker Prize winner soon to be announced, Susan Elkin puts forward a compelling case for you to incorporate the annual Booker short-list of titles into your classroom discussions and to encourage developing wider reading. Something for the Christmas list, perhaps?

A bumper issue for the start of the new school year. Following her dreams and a lifelong passion for music, Dr Hannah French is the subject for our Big Interview (p10) in this issue, as she tells us about her journey and overcoming hurdles along the way – an inspiration to all.
There was also much pride in evidence when we visited a school’s end of year performance of King Midas, led by the team at Bright Torches Theatre Company, integrating performance with a creative learning environment and providing a fitting climax for year six pupils.
We also turn the spotlight on the work of the NT Connections festival, firmly established as a platform for youth theatre and schools’ drama, providing thousands of young people with the opportunity to perform in local theatres or take on backstage roles. As The Woman in Black embarks on an extensive UK tour, we caught up with author Dame Susan Hill, to find out all about how she came up with the spooky story and what it’s like seeing your work told on stage.
Our Coffee Break chat is with acclaimed musical theatre performer Rebecca Thornhill, charting her career from am-dram to Gypsy.

The Big Interview in this issue is with crime thriller writer William Shaw, a master of convincing readers by creating real environments.
Encouraging reading for pleasure in your students is also the subject of the ‘Pause for Thought’ piece in this issue (page 23), intrinsic to a lifetime of discovery and learning, and finding the spark to ignite their reading curiosity is key. With the summer months ahead, and textbooks put away, let’s hope that reading for pleasure can be encouraged. For inspiration, read our interview with Rachael Rogan, founder of the BookTastic programme, passionate about instilling a love of reading in children from all backgrounds.
This issue also includes an in depth look at the RSC’s raft of resources and events to support teachers and students looking to study of The Empress, prior to the staging of the play in both Stratford-upon-Avon this summer and later in the year at the Lyric in Hammersmith.  Also on the syllabus, Blackeyed Theatre are staging a revival of Oh! What a Lovely War, with an extensive UK tour later this year to mark the 60th anniversary of the show’s premiere and we caught up with its director for an insight.

Developing a love of books and reading starts with picture books and so the role and importance of illustrators is intrinsic to this process, despite which illustrators are often given little recognition on book covers. Our Pause for Thought feature in this issue puts the case for equal recognition to be given to these skilled visual story tellers and we managed to grab a chat with illustrator Emily Snape, juggling her freelance work with family life, teaching and writing her own books.
We also managed to chat with the impressive Paterson Joseph, about his journey into acting, performing with the RSC and his new historical novel charting the life and achievements of Charles Ignatius Sancho, 18th century writer, composer and activist.
Our dip into college life took us on an extensive tour of Trinity Laban and the breadth of courses they offer in music, dance and musical theatre in the beautiful Old Naval College on the banks of the Thames at Greenwich.

As we approach International Women’s Day, I am delighted that this issue includes interviews with three inspiring women from across the industry. For the ’Big Interview’ in this issue, we managed to grab some time to chat with the formidable Josette Bushell-Mingo, Principal and CEO of The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, two years into her tenure and determined to put students at the heart of all the college does. We also managed to meet playwright Tanika Gupta, to discuss her life and forthcoming play, The Empress, now on the GCSE syllabus, which is currently in production with the RSC. Plus we took time for a coffee with experienced director, and now author, Nancy Meckler to discuss her long-awaited first book Notes from a Rehearsal Room.
Our Exhibition review this issue took in two contrasting shows – Alice Neel’s retrospective and the more abstract Action Gesture Paint, offering students the opportunity to experience diverse approaches to the subject. Continuing the theme of observation, we dropped in on various workshop sessions at the recent National Theatre Drama Teacher Conference, attended by enthusiastic (of course!) drama teachers.

Our ‘Big Interview’ in this issue is with Gillian Du Charme, a former headteacher, education consultant and long-time advocate of arts teaching and we visit the Chichester Festival Youth Theatre, which continues to lead the way in offering an inclusive, diverse environment allowing young theatre makers to thrive.
Our Exhibition review this month looks at the work of photographer Chris Killip, who immersed himself in the communities he found fascinating, and we managed to grab a chat with Douglas Rintoul, Artistic Director at The New Wolsey Theatre in Ipswich, ahead of his production of DNA by Dennis Kelly, opening next month. Plus the latest arts education news, theatre and book reviews, so grab a cuppa and enjoy this latest issue…

In this issue we look at the National Youth Theatre Rep company, celebrating its tenth anniversary and a springboard for many now famous actors, and at the opportunities offered by various apprenticeship schemes, designed especially for those looking for a non-performing career in the arts. 
The Big Interview in this issue is with Chris Elwell, CEO of the vibrant Half Moon Theatre in London’s East End, specialising in work for and with young people. Our trip to an exhibition this issue takes in three Lucian Freud shows running concurrently in different venues across London, yet we still have time for a Coffee Break with Louisa Read, author of the YA verse novels Gloves Off, Wrecked and Activist.  There are Theatre and Book reviews and the Pause for Thought piece looks at the importance of school productions. Put the kettle on, have a cuppa and delve into this issue…

The inspiring interviews in this issue take in several different genres: an opera singer/composer, a playwright/author and an actor/producer, each proving that there are many different routes into the arts. We also feature the National Theatre’s Speak Up programme, being extended to more schools with the aim of giving students a voice to enable a positive change in their lives. 
We visit Upstairs at The Gatehouse theatre above a pub, which has been putting on  productions for 24 years - a perfect small venue to take your sixth formers to!
The exhibition review in this issue takes in the Cornelia Parker show at Tate Modern – one you definitely don’t want to miss – whilst our Pause for Thought provides an insight into the role of a critic.
Also includes arts news, book and theatre reviews.

This issue includes a lively mix of interviews & news - including our ‘Big Interview’ with the hugely successful producer Kenny Wax - responsible for such hits as SIX and The Play That Goes Wrong, plus interviews with educator David Passey and actor Beth Hinton-Lever.

The issue also includes various suggestions for school theatre trips, with linked education workshops, along with a teacher professional development opportunity from the from the RSC and an Acting Summer School from Drama Studio London.

I’ve recently been exhibiting at an education show and it was wonderful to be ‘out’ amongst like-minded souls, free of restrictions and masks after the past couple of years hibernating. Despite all that is going on elsewhere in the world, there was definitely an uplifting feeling at the event and I realised how much I’d missed interacting with real humans and seeing smiles! For those in education and the performing arts world, it is this positive human reaction that drives you to inspire and perform, bringing joy and an escape from reality, or perhaps to challenge and provoke thought.

The ‘Big Interview’ in this issue is with the talented and determined Dame Floella Benjamin, who recounts her journey from Trinidad to the House of Lords and is currently looking forward to the opening of Coming to England, a musical adaptation of her Windrush inspired 1995 book.

Determined to extend training opportunities around the UK, we pay a visit to The Bamboo House, Fourth Monkey’s new regional training centre in Bristol and chat to Musical Theatre International about the introduction of a new app set to revolutionise your rehearsal process.

We catch up with Evan Placey, taking his Jekyll & Hyde to more than ten thousand pupils for the NT spring schools tour and grabbed a coffee with Toby Olié, whose latest incredible puppetry creations will be starring in the latest UK tour of Animal Farm.

Plus we have a thought provoking ‘Pause for Thought’ on To Kill A Mockingbird from Susan Elkin, along with a selection of Book and Theatre reviews.

This issue includes our ‘Big Interview’ with the wonderful, multi-talented Isobel McArthur, who wrote, appears in and co-directs Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of), enjoying five-star reviews at the Criterion. Hurry, the run ends soon!
We delve into the life and work of actor/writer Mark Farrelly, touring this year with four different shows, plus we stopped off for a ‘Coffee Break’ with another young actor/writer, Isabel Adamakoh Young, who we are sure you will be seeing much more of!
Graham Hooper, our regular exhibition correspondent, sets out a dozen shows around the country this year you will want to get in your diaries to organise trips with (or without!) your cohort.
We also pay a visit to the Sylvia Young Theatre School to discover how it has adapted over the forty years since its inception and continues to produce rounded individuals for both the performing arts and life.
There's news from Shakespeare's Globe, National Youth Theatre & more, along with book and theatre reviews.

The 'Big Interview' in this issue is with panto-stalwart Peter Duncan, now writing, performing and broadcasting his own home-based family panto – born out of the necessity to improvise during last year’s enforced lockdown.
Emerging from the pandemic, creatives, theatres and drama schools have all had to adapt and adopt new methods of practice. This has given many the opportunity to “reset” and re-evaluate how they operate. Drama schools have had to introduce online auditioning and many are adapting their training to cater for both industry requirements and the aspirations of their students. Although many are looking for a fast-track into television roles, the traditional transferable skills developed at drama school are invaluable and the ‘traditional’ methods should not be overlooked.
Alongside any evolving of the training, performing arts schools are also recognising the need to become more representative and diverse, which should open the doors to a wider cohort of aspiring performers. One such progressive school, Bird College, is the focus of our feature in this issue, celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, having come a long way from its original role as a dance school.
Also in this issue we take a look at how Little Angel Theatre is embracing new digital technology, whilst remaining focussed on its core of creating theatre for children using puppetry. And on a puppet theme, check out our interview with Blackeyed Theatre and their use of a huge puppet as the Creature in their forthcoming revival of Frankenstein!

In this issue... the Big Interview is with author and journalist Ellen Alpsten to discuss her life’s journey and inspiration for the Tsarina trilogy, we chat with engaging young actor Jimand Allotey and her route into the profession, discover what makes Showstop Theatre School unique and take a coffee break with theatre publicist Kevin Wilson. The Exhibition review takes in the Tokyo show at the Ashmolean in Oxford, plus there are Book and Theatre Reviews for you to digest.

Focusing on various further education opportunities in this issue, we examine the apprenticeships scheme offered by the Royal Opera House, providing training for young people in a wide range of behind the scenes functions – not to be ignored from careers advice at school - and look at the performing arts training offered by the Manchester School of Theatre and the new initiative from Fourth Monkey, setting up camp in Bristol. 
The Big Interview in this issue is with the prolific writer Julia Donaldson, now also offering online courses for budding children’s picture book writers through the BBC Maestro series, and our exhibition preview takes in the Dubuffet retrospective at the Barbican.
Until our next issue in September, an inspirational quote from a Zen proverb, apt for the times we are in: “Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly.”

Spring always seems to bring new hope, with plants springing to life after their winter hibernation and this year, perhaps more than most, this new hope seems to be more pertinent to all of us. On my daily dog walk, I have been watching as the bluebells miraculously start to emerge and their scent now fills the air once again… so I know spring is really here! Having endured a challenging year, let us hope that this spring there truly is a new start and life can return to a semblance of ‘normal’.
Whilst students have returned to school and you are managing bubbles, it may yet be a while before school theatre trips can fully resume, but there are an increasing number of online resources and productions to help you ensure your cohort can still enjoy the delights of live performance to enhance their studies and inspire their thoughts. 
Perhaps one of the positives to be taken from the past year is how theatre creatives have been devising new formats and online resources for you to embrace these opportunities; such as the multiverse adventure-style gameplay adaptation of Romeo & Juliet from Creation Theatre (page 16), which allows audience members to choose alternative outcomes and interact live with the  characters.
Proving that the online world can open up new opportunities, we take a look at the ‘lockdown’ work from Graeae (page 13) and their latest series of online duologue plays, Crips without Constraints 2, pairing a disabled actor with the likes of Harriet Walter. As an antithesis to the online world, our Big Interview in this issue is with puppeteer Ronnie le Drew, still performing in his 70s, demonstrating that there are many ways to tell a story (page 8).
Theatres are scheduling productions, drama schools conducting their auditions (online)… signs that we are emerging from hibernation
and normality WILL resume!

Our Big Interview in this issue is with director and actor Matthew Parker, who himself has had to make some late changes to his schedule, but who will hopefully be treading the boards at The Maltings this December. We also chatted to Fourth Monkey’s Director of Training, Charlene Qwaye, to learn how this innovative school is evolving and gleaned some useful tips for online auditionees from the directors at ArtsEd.  For budding writers, check out the recent opportunity being offered by HighTide on page 23.  With most galleries currently closed, we have compiled a great guide to many of the online exhibitions that are ‘open’ to visitors. 

I am surely not alone in wondering why it has been possible to go to the cinema or sit in a plane next to strangers for several hours, yet theatres have remained dark? Are theatres really that dangerous? Unfortunately, easing of restrictions has come too late to salvage most of the traditional Christmas shows and pantos on which regional theatres rely, but of course, if nothing else, the arts world is full of creative people. It is heartening to see how inventive producers have been, to adapt and utilise new technologies to keep producing ‘live’ performances. We round up several of these in this issue, offering you the opportunity to take in everything from school plays to Shakespeare, either at home or in the classroom, and hope you may be able to donate or subscribe to assist struggling artists.
Our Big Interview in this issue is with Alexia Khadime, who should have been staring in The Prince of Egypt, but who has spent ‘lockdown’ performing online to support those less fortunate in the theatre industry. Read her story from page 6 and in other features this issue, discover how colleges, schools and producers are making use of new learnt skills to get us through this. After all… the shows MUST go on!

Against a backdrop of uncertainty for schools, colleges and theatres, this issue of Ink Pellet looks at how arts provision in schools can, and should, be incorporated across the curriculum. The Big Interview is with Paul Ainsworth, leading the Learning & Participation front at the Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury and we visit the RWCMD to discover a thriving arts centre in Cardiff. As working remotely becomes a reality for many, we feature the Bamboo Manager Project, offering distance learning for a stage management qualification, and suggest why all pupils should be exposed to the work of Beethoven, as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of his birth.

Starting the new decade, this issue includes the 'Big Interview' with best-selling crime writer Domenica de Rosa (Elly Griffiths), plus we examine a number of the apprenticeship schemes in the creative industries and hope you will recommend this option as a viable route into the profession to your cohort. For those looking to perform, we investigate the array of stage schools nurturing young talent in the UK and highlight the excellent work of British Youth Music Theatre, which annually searches out and encourages hundreds of young performers around the country – make sure to apply for their upcoming audition programme! There’s an interesting ‘success story’ about one previous BYMT alum on page 16 too! Also in this issue, we share a coffee and a chat with writer Piers Torbay, following the recent success of his adaptation of 'A Christmas Carol', feature the training and tuition offered by the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire and guide you through the relaunched drama syllabuses from Trinity College, whilst Graham Hooper marks your card for many of the exciting exhibitions to look out for this coming year.

In this issue we interview Paul Fincham, composer of the carol 'Ring The Bells', enjoying a change of career and with Lou Stein at Chickenshed on how theatre can change lives, ahead of their Christmas production of 'Snow White'. Susan Elkin gives some pointers on what makes for a successful panto and offers advice for those considering a move to a drama school in this issue’s Pause for Thought. Adding to it’s growing reputation and syllabus, we take a look at East 15’s new BA in Physical Theatre and at the fantastic work Theatre Peckham is doing in its community, whilst our Exhibition review takes in the contrasting shows of Lucian Freud and Bridget Riley.

Ink Pellet remains the only magazine for teachers covering all of the arts – performance, written and visual – and in this issue you’ll find features across the arts spectrum; including interviews with the enigmatic West End Producer, with the new Children’s Laureate Cressida Cowell and the National Youth Theatre’s CEO Paul Roseby, along with an insight into the training offered at the Royal Central School of Speech & Drama and of the new LAMDA syllabi. 
Also in this issue, we take a look at the fabulous educational benefits offered by Disney’s The Lion King – celebrating its 20th anniversary in London and embarking on a UK tour – and those offered by film, through the Into Film festival this autumn. Incorporating science with visual art, our exhibition review covers two exciting shows currently at Tate Modern.

The Big Interview in this issue is with story teller, director and DJ Matthew Xia, who is determined to promote minority groups as theatre leaders, makers and consumers and to break down barriers to inclusion, plus we dropped in for a coffee with Steve Green of the progressive Fourth Monkey Actor Training Company.
We take a closer look at Bath Spa University, aiming to be a leading educational institution in creativity, culture and enterprise, with an emphasis on bringing enterprise and creativity together across all its courses. For those students looking to pursue a career ‘behind the scenes’, we’ve got some invaluable advice on the technical theatre courses available, whilst Susan Elkin provides additional salient advice on choosing the right training course or drama school in this month’s ‘Pause for Thought’ piece.
Travelling across the Channel, our Exhibition review this issue looks at the Museum Voorlinden, a Dutch private gallery of modern and contemporary art… just in case you happen to be passing in the coming months!

The Big Interview in this issue is with Daniel Evans, award-winning actor now artistic director at Chichester Festival Theatre, and we drop in for a coffee and chat with Dr James Lovelock, course leader at the University of Wolverhampton.
Inspiring your students to take the next step may include taking a Foundation Course and we look at some of the options available (p10), plus we feature the ground-breaking scientific study of dance at Trinity Laban (p14). Do also read about the dynamic Sarah Pavlovs of Starbuck Theatre (p12), as she juggles life as an actor and running a youth theatre, inspiring others!
Our exhibition preview this issue is a look at the ‘Life in Drawing’ of Leonardo ds Vinci, as his works in the Royal Collection are displayed around the country (p20) and the ‘Pause for Thought’ piece (p18) promotes you to practice what you teach, as further inspiration to your cohort!
As ever, we welcome your views and suggestions.

Ensuring arts education is maintained has been shown to have positive effects on learning across the curriculum and in this issue we look at the work of the Lyric Hammersmith (p15), providing additional arts opportunities for young people, already proving to have a positive effect on their general education and attainment, whilst Susan Elkin puts the case for Christian education to be incorporated across the curriculum to ensure context in both the arts and literature (p22).
The Big Interview in this issue is with theatre pioneers Tim & Max, founders of Oily Cart, as they move on to new ventures (p6) and we chat to Amy Leach, associate director at Leeds Playhouse about her upcoming female-led production of Hamlet. 
The Birmingham Royal Ballet are taking Beauty and the Beast on tour, with a couple of special relaxed performances for younger audiences and we look at the outstanding achievements of TheMTA at finding work in the performing arts sector for its graduates.
