At Purple Carrots Drama Studio, we believe that creativity thrives with just the right mix of structure and freedom. That’s why we’re excited to introduce two new tools we’ve created to support focus and flow during workshops, rehearsals, and beyond: our 10-minute and 15-minute video timers.
These timers were originally developed for our virtual drama programs, but we quickly realized they could benefit a much wider audience. Whether you’re working with students in a classroom, leading a rehearsal, managing transitions in a creative camp setting, or just need a quiet moment to write, these timers offer a clear and calming way to stay on track.
What’s Included:
-
A visual countdown that helps young participants (and grown-ups too) track time easily
-
Background music to support concentration and reduce stress
-
A gentle but clear alarm at the end to signal when time is up
Who Can Use These Timers?
-
Drama educators and facilitators
-
Creative arts instructors
-
Camp leaders and classroom teachers
-
Writers, students, and anyone looking for a timed work session
Where to Find Them:
You can find both timers on our YouTube channel, free to use and share:
Why We Made Them:
We know that young artists often need clear timeframes to stay engaged and feel supported — especially in virtual environments where structure can be harder to establish. These timers help set the tone for creative exploration while gently encouraging focus and self-regulation. They’re one more way we’re making drama programming more accessible, supportive, and fun.
Have questions or feedback about the timers? Let us know — we’re always looking to improve and expand our resources.
