Welcome to our Schools programme

Shifting Sands has been supported in more than 100 schools over the last three years.
We aim to work with established Southern artists with an international reputation and effective teaching ability who also have a development programme within their own countries. They have usually had extensive touring experience on professional stages but most importantly have shown particular abilities to work with young people across the arts.

All artists are CRB cleared as are our staff. This year the key artists are working to develop the Crucible Theatre's production of the Leopard . Music director/ workshops: Mandla Sibanda, and peerforming as Leopard: Simon Banda

The programme is individually tailored to your school through planning sessions and pre-visits.
The project has grown out of many years project experience and teaching experience by staff
and artist working with UK schools and schools in Southern Africa where we actively engage
in project support.
