Theatre Workshops
Our Theatre Workshops are led by experienced theatre-makers and emphasize ensemble, collaboration and creativity. We design our workshops to be group specific, tailored for TY programs, university/ academic students, international students or specialty interest focused groups. Workshops may be text focused, or performance driven depending on the group.
Workshops are immersive and interactive, with no experience required.
