Workshop 1 – Singer / Dancer / Actor – 8th August (8 Hours)

Being a triple threat is essential for Musical Theatre. This masterclass will help you to develop your skills in singing, acting, dancing as well as threading these skills together. You do not need to be confident in all three disciplines to participate, in fact, we encourage you to participate if you are looking to improve a particular skill set. This masterclass will give you the tools and techniques that can assist you in becoming a more confident and diverse performer. Come with an open mind, a willingness to try, and be ready to be challenged. Know that you will be in a supportive and encouraging environment as you take your performance skills to the next level.

Cost – $25 includes lunch, morning and afternoon tea

Workshop 2 – Audition Technique – 15th August (8 hours)

The Musical Theatre audition can be daunting as there are so many skills required for musical productions. In this mock audition-style workshop you will build the tools and techniques to feel more confident, prepared and present in auditions. We want you to leave this workshop feeling empowered and excited for auditions as well as demystifying some of the myths and confusion around auditions. In the workshop we will do some audition technique, a mock style audition in dance, singing, and acting, as well as providing personalised feedback to improve your audition technique. Please note, you do not need to be confident in all three disciplines to participate, in fact, we encourage you to participate if you are looking to improve a particular skill set. There are a diverse range of roles in musicals, and you might be exactly the puzzle piece that is needed. Come with an open mind, a willingness to try, and be ready to be challenged. Know that you will be in a supportive and encouraging environment as you take your audition technique to the next level.

Cost – $25 includes lunch, morning and afternoon tea

Workshop 3 – Workshop for ALL Abilities – 17th August (2 hours)

This Musical Theatre Workshop is for adults with all Abilities. This inclusive 2 hour workshop involves working with a professional choreographer and director to learn some basic musical theatre skills including singing, dancing, and acting. At the end of the workshop we will put together a short, fun performance. Please note, carers and disability support workers are most welcome and encouraged to attend. There will also be a free afternoon tea included. Please advise of any dietary requirements when booking.

Carers are welcome to attend. No cost.
