What can I expect?
Stage Combat – Ever wondered how actors make those stage fights look so real? Work together with our team of professional actors to learn the skills of stage combat. From sword fights, hair grabs, to stage slaps and upper cuts – these workshops will teach you how to become a disciplined and convincing stage-fighting actor, understanding the techniques needed to grab the audience’s attention. Work together to build an epic stage battle in 3 days, and perform to the audience on the 4th day! No matter your age, Stage Combat is super fun, high energy and suitable for all young people!
Silly Stories – Learn the skills to create your own play that is sure to make your audience laugh (and maybe even cry!). Participants will work together to make a play in 3 days, with rehearsal and performance to the audience on the 4th day. Hone your skills in acting and/or directing – the choice is yours. No experience necessary, and a willingness to play a must!
