Workshops

Our workshops are designed to enhance the participants own creativity through the exploration of theatre arts. Discovery and process are the basic elements of the teaching philosophy. Theatre Arts Workshops strengthen skills such as team-building, cooperation, concentration, problem-solving, and more. Workshops can also increase self-esteem, creativity, and a greater appreciation of the world around us.

Our workshops are flexible!

The curriculums for each workshop have been designed to meet the specific needs of different groups in terms of age appropriate exercises and length. Workshops can last an hour, a 1/2 day, a full day, or up to a week or more! Organizations may choose from current workshop topics or we can design one together to serve the specific needs of your group. Workshops are most successful in groups of 10-25 participants. If your group is smaller or larger - don't worry! We can easily adapt our programs!

Theatre Games

Theatre Games are a fun and energetic way to explore the creative process! Participants are encouraged to discover their inner creativity through movement, vocal techniques, sense memory exercises, concentration and team-building games.
