About The Curiosity Index
Les Enfants Terribles have opened up their archives and released exclusive behind-the-scenes content as a free resource for drama teachers and students.
The site features hundreds of images, sketches, designs, videos and education packs – all curriculum focused and classroom-friendly.
Really excitingly, the site focuses heavily on Elements of Theatre Design – a new focus in the recent Drama curriculums. You’ll have access to set designs, costume sketches, mood boards, puppetry, and lighting designs. All that you can use to inspire your students in the classroom.
The site is super easy to use, with the ability to filter and search for what you’re looking for. It also comes with a useful ‘favourite’ button to ‘save’ useful resources in your profile on the site.
The site also includes teacher-created lesson plans and teaching ideas to inspire planning and lighten your workload.
“I’m so excited to be launching The Curiosity Index. The last few years have really shown us how powerful online resources can be and how much they can enhance live theatrical work – particularly from an access point of view.
We want to create a fountain of inspiration that is accessible to absolutely everyone. A way of exploring and examining every element of the creative process as well as bringing together 20 years of Les Enfants Terribles’ history into one place.
We have always seen the theatre we make as a shared experience – The Curiosity Index allows us to deepen that conversation in a really exciting and meaningful way.”
Oliver Lansley, Artistic Director of Les Enfants Terribles
