Every young person is uniquely creative.

Open Theatre Practice (OTP) creates the conditions for that creativity to flourish.

Developed over more than 30 years in collaboration with young people with intellectual disabilities, this music-led, non-verbal approach has inspired artists, educators and organisations around the world.

Join Richard Hayhow BEM, Director of the Open Theatre Company UK, and Brisbane's In-Person Creative team for a unique one-day intensive exploring how non-verbal creative practice can unlock participation, communication, connection and creativity for young people with intellectual disabilities.

Playful, practical and inspiring.

No drama experience needed.

This workshop is supported by Creative Australia.
