Accidental Collective’s members have been working in education since the company's inception. Over the years they have cultivated a reputation for a thorough, rigorous and engaging delivery. By combining technical expertise with their own sense of playfulness, Accidental Collective can guarantee no workshop will be the same and will always be fully inclusive of varying abilities and performance styles. Moreover, the company’s practice is not only creatively and artistically focused, but also has an academic grounding.

Accidental Collective has held workshops in a variety of contexts, including:

• Primary Education
• Secondary Education
• Sixth form AS and A2 level Drama
• Further Education BTEC
• BA level undergraduate
• in the framework of festivals (i.e. Portrait of a Nation, Liverpool) and academic conferences (i.e. Objects of Engagement, Royal Holloway University)

The company's flexible approach means it can always enter into discussion with you to produce a workshop session, or sessions, which meets your specific requirements. To date Accidental Collective has delivered both curriculum-based and creatively-led programmes, to both students and teachers. Using their investigative process and unique approach to collaborative work, they aim to lead participants on a journey within each workshop, highlighting techniques and relevant practitioners as prompted by the relevant interests of the group.

• Contemporary devising

• Writing for performance
• Auto-biographical performance
