The Australian Shakespeare Company (ASC) has been running youth drama workshops for kids aged 8 -17 years every school holidays since 2013.<\/p>\n
These programs are led by professional ASC actors, directors and educators, these action packed courses are a great way to develop new performance skills, make new friends and discover Shakespeare in a fun, playful way.<\/p>\n
And it\u2019s not just Shakespeare: the workshops also often incorporates a focus on acting for screen, stage combat, clowning and commedia del arte. The chance to spend a week working and creating with like-minded peers and passionate industry professionals gives kids a chance to dive in deep and develop something really remarkable.<\/p>\n
In January 2019, participants can relish the opportunity to get up close and personal with some of Shakespeare\u2019s most beloved heroes and despised villains!<\/p>\n
From Richard III to Rosalind, our tutors will take participants through some of the Bard\u2019s best moments, questioning just what it is that makes a hero heroic or a villain villainous! Through storytelling, drama games, improvisation and scene study, the workshop will build towards a live showcase for family and friends.<\/p>\n
The ASC believe theatre is a powerful tool for education, and fortunately it\u2019s entertaining too! Beyond understanding Shakespeare, our holiday workshops bring social-emotional learning directly into the rehearsal room in joyful, creative and purposeful ways.<\/p>\n
