Perform Australia – School Holiday Drama Program
Looking for something fun to do in the hols? Try drama! We have some fantastic programs in acting and filmmaking. Whether you’re new to acting or an old hand, there’s bound to be something to interest you!
Do-It-Yourself Fantasy and Fairytales
Goblins, beanstalks, wolves and witches… not every character in a fairytale is a princess or a fairy! Some are sinister and creepy, while others are absolute heroes. But all are built around key character types that not only appear in fantasy, but are in just about every other story out there, in one form or another. So if you want to be an actor, you need to meet and master these character types! In this three-day workshop, you’ll learn acting skills such as:
- using scripts
- devising characters
- creating stories
- performing on stage (stagecraft)
Not only that, you’ll get to perform for family and friends on the last day in our amazing theatre!
WHEN: 9am-3pm, Monday 12 April to Wednesday 14 April, inclusive
FOR: Ages 7-12
WHERE: Perform Australia studios, 11 Whyalla St, Fyshwick
COST: $240
