Working out of Huddersfield & Keswick, I run drama, fiction & creative writing workshops for all ages.

"Dave does it yet again, six brilliant Greenaway drama sessions in our Wakefield primary schools. Six fun, engaging, confidence-boosting workshops which really brought the books to life....Dave gives huge added value to the shadowing process. Two of our teachers saw children do things they'd never thought they would see; the power of drama, the power of Dave!"

I am currently taking bookings for Booked Up workshops for September / October. This day of exploration through drama will help your pupils to choose their free book or, once received, promotes wider reading from the list.

Bookings? Please Email 

 

 

An ongoing writing competition with two tasks set every weekend - see the Class of Dave page for more details.


If you're ready to discuss requirements or to make a booking, just Email me and I will telephone or email you back as soon as I can.
