STEPS in TIME

About the shows and how they work...

Performed by actor Oliver Naylor Steps in Time are a series of hour-long interactive history shows modelled around the Key Stage 2 National Curriculum. They are ideal for exciting outreach in schools, museums, theatres and other educational venues. Using costumes, music
and authentic artefacts, the hustle and bustle of times gone by are brought to life.

Oliver can perform up to three shows a day at your school. Performances are designed to encourage participation and recreate the magic and intimacy of theatre. After the performance there will be a question and answer session in which the children get a closer look at the objects used in the show. There is also a hot-seating session in which the children choose the character they would like to speak to. This enables them to talk to the evacuee or the Roman soldier and ask them the questions they always wanted to. The whole session lasts an hour in total.

Oliver is happy to perform in the hall providing it is not a major through route for lots of people as this can be distracting for the audience. Most of the shows can also be performed in a large classroom. An approximate figure of 30 children per show works best but Oliver is quite happy to discuss other arrangements (i.e. combining classes etc) Please call or email him.

STEPS in TIME is now part of Chiddingstone Castle's education programme. This means if your school is visiting the castle for the day you have the option of booking a Steps in Time show as well! www.chiddingstonecastle.org.uk

STEPS in TIME is now part of the Royal Engineers Museum's education programme. If your school is visiting the museum for the day why not add the STEPS in TIME show "William the WW2 Evacuee" to your itinerary for an interactive journey into war torn Britain?

For schools, a ‘show’ is classed as the 40 minute performance + 20 minutes Q & A and hot-seating – total session time 1 hour. Oliver can perform three different shows in one day or three of the same type to suit your class sizes and needs - you do not have to have 3 WW2 shows for example, you could have 3 different shows for different year groups if you wish.
