Fantastic videos (most about 10-13 minutes long) on their unique physical style and how to use movement in performance.

- Digital Theatre Plus – this is one that you normally have to pay for, but I think they are offering it free for students at the moment. If you are interested in theatre, they have lots of live versions of thought-provoking shows – Peter Pan, Last Train to Nibroc, Much Ado About Nothing (with Catherine Tate and David Tennant) and Into the Woods. Not all shows would be suitable for all ages, so check before viewing! They also have videos on backstage and design jobs. https://www.digitaltheatreplus.com/education

- Storyline Online have lots of different children’s stories being read aloud. https://www.storylineonline.net/
- Drama Online Library - this is a more scholarly website, but helpful if you want to find out about a specific style or genre of theatre. https://www.dramaonlinelibrary.com/genres
