Shows
Shows
What is it?
Shows generally consist of a display or demonstration based around a specific subject; for example, a display of birds of prey or a demonstration of how a piece of equipment was used in the past. The term "show" is reasonably vague, so the specific content is hard to define, but a show is usually of a more low-key nature than larger events such as Concerts/Performances.
What does it involve?
Shows are more likely to involve some audience participation than larger scale performances - volunteers are often called upon to have a go or to demonstrate a certain point. However, generally all that is involved is paying attention!
Why do it and what are the benefits?
Shows are good for getting a more in depth insight into a specific area of interest than you can get from classroom learning! Having more tangible and visible learning cues will engage students in a different way, and make for a more memorable experience for them.
What equipment do we need?
Going to a show shouldn't require any equipment provided by you at all.
Who is it suitable for?
There will be shows out there suitable for people of any age!
Costs?
Entry costs of shows will depend on the type of show and whether they come as part of a larger fee for access to the whole venue - make sure to compare your local prices.
Issues/Things to think about? (unsuitable for age groups, medical conditions etc)
Make sure to take into account the interests of your student group when considering what show to attend!
How do we include?
Depending on the type of show you attend, including everybody in your student group should be relatively easy! If you are unsure, make sure to contact the venue ahead of time to check out what their setup is.
Doing it abroad?
There will always be a show of some kind wherever there are places to visit, so do some research into popular tourist attractions and see what they have on!
