Holiday Workshops

We offer playful, fun-filled, creative workshops every school holiday.

Primary-aged programs ignite the imaginations of young people as they create spectacular worlds, tackle big ideas, discover new skills and unleash bucket-loads of energy in an inclusive, supportive environment.

Secondary-aged programs offer specialised intensives that develop performance skills and introduce young artists to new techniques in areas such as devising, movement, auditions, screen acting, musical theatre, and much more. See below for upcoming workshops and book your spot!

Current Holiday Programs

Make Some Noise!

Bang the pots and pans, the holidays are here and we are ready to make some noise! Join us these Easter holidays to figure out how to make wonderful and crazy symphonies from everyday objects and items. You’ll explore all the ways sound and music help us tell stories, and build your own voice in a collaborative exploration of all things noisy!

Who You Are

Are you in Years 1–6, and ready to unleash your creativity? In this fun-filled four-day workshop you’ll be led through practical exercises and creative play, collaborating with fellow-conductors to sharpen your performance skills and fire your imagination!

Actor’s Toolbox

Opening the Actor’s Toolbox! 

This holiday we’re ready to explore all the skills in our Actor’s Toolbox (Mind, Body and Voice) through interactive games, discussions and skills-based activities! How do we show the audience the world our characters are experiencing? We will explore our ability to access memory and collaborate on ideas, and look at how it feels to use our bodies to move through the space in different ways. Our voice, mind, body and imagination will come together as we tell all our stories, in order to build our skills underneath!
