Julie’s feedback was particularly insightful, her rigorous questioning focused upon drawing out and challenging the learners. Excellent subject knowledge and understanding of the abilities of each learner ensured that all learners were reaching their full potential. Consistently high expectations of attitudes to learning and rigorous focus upon challenging individual learners led to notable learning gains. Incisive feedback both verbal and written ensuring learners know how to improve their knowledge, understanding and skills.

Genuinely beyond expectation. Very constructive feedback which highlighted how little I knew and now how much I have learnt.
A productive and illuminating course with a very conscientious teacher.
It’s been fantastic. I have learned a lot of useful things about scriptwriting and its technicalities. Julie has been a brilliant teacher.

Thank-you for introducing variety, and thoughtful comments. I was glad to expand my knowledge of both nature and creative writing.
Found the course an unexpected enjoyment. Your enthusiasm is infectious and inspiring.
Thank-you for your helpful comments and your guidance.

Thank you Julie, two great creative days! Love our artwork.
Thanks Julie for being so polite and friendly. You have a very creative mind. Good problem solver and very patient.

Plenty of inspiration for writing. Local area information triggered good ideas.’ ‘Thanks for your patience with those of us lacking imagination!

An excellent course – I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the warm, thoughtful, inspiring space provided – thank-you!
An inspiring set of workshops. Sparking ideas that will take my writing along new channels.

Really enjoyed. Made me think both horizontally and vertically to character build.
Very thought provoking.
A real fun session. Thanks.

I’ve redrafted, re-edited and completed my script, the feedback was such a big help. Thanks.

Thanks once again for your detailed feedback – it’s given me lots of food for thought and really got me focussed.
Thank you so much for your encouragement and feedback. You have certainly spent some time looking at and revising this and I am grateful for your input and supportive comments.
Thanks again for the detailed and constructive advice. Thanks to you we finally got there.

You’ve done an amazing job – never expected so much detail. Wonderful! Thank you so much for all your hard work. Without exception the writers were fired up by your advice. It was a terrific experience for us all.

A wonderful presentation, brilliantly research and very well acted/produced. It was a totally professional production. Can you do it again?

Brought the events of 1909 to life.

Fascinating from the start with great writing and acting abilities.

Loved the different aspects especially the teacher who made me think about the other side of the argument.

Really excellent – held your attention all throughout.

The one-man play’s premise – a lonely undertaker’s sister’s death revealing some alarming truths about who he thought he was – is simultaneously troubling and hilarious. McKiernan has used the intriguing device of filmed monochrome segments of comedian Dave Allen – performed, convincingly, again by Boyle – interspersed with the live-action drama. Shot beautifully, the ‘Dave Allen’ segments offer the Irish comedian’s (fictional) take on death, grief, funerals and family, neatly underscoring the themes and action of the play. Ably directed by Martin Green, this has all the hallmarks of a show that deserves to go on longer and further.

A unique performance in a unique venue.

Really gave a taste of time gone by and how women were treated.

Lots of information given in a relatively short time in a very enjoyable way.

Learning about that period for women in an enjoyable way – good pace, poignant section and lively songs.

A huge thank-you to you & your professional team & this thought provoking production (I’m pleased to say that I can’t think of of any negatives or constructive critisicsm). I found the play true to life & factual to the treatment of Patients/Service Users, based on my opinions from my own personal experiences that I’ve seen, witnessed, heard & experienced many times.

Excellent performance which completely engaged the children.

The production was a very effective way of helping the children understand both sides of the WW1 story.

Brought British history to life.

I’ve just got in and couldn’t wait to thank you all for making today the huge success that it has been. Everyone I have spoken to from the Mayor of Wigan down to the causal visitor has complimented us on today’s achievements and commented on the excellent organisation. Please accept our sincere gratitude for your interest, generosity, hard work and enthusiasm.

It was a privilege to be involved. Our staff and students thoroughly enjoyed the range of activities and our drama and dance students were proud to be involved in the presentations for their community celebrations.
