Get lost in the world of drama and create our spookiest performance yet! This time we are asking participants to wear a spooky costume to the class, you can choose a character we already know or an imaginary character. Together we will devise a short play and participants will be able to craft their own props for the performance. This workshop will allow participants to explore the imaginative and empowering world of drama. Over the session the group will explore a range of theatre games, that will provide an understanding of role play, storytelling and scene creation. This is the time and place for using your voice, body, and mind to create.

WHOOP theatre

WHOOP theatre is based in Griffith, NSW, and local theatre creative Melanie Toscan has developed the school holiday workshops. Melanie has been performing on stage from an early age. She has performed many roles locally ranging from the explosive ‘Tybolt’ in ‘Romeo and Juliet’ to the tenacious cheerleader ‘Serena’ in ‘Legally Blonde The Musical'. In more recent times Melanie has been playing the roles of producer and visual designer for local productions. In 2019 she was nominated for a Canberra Area Theatre Award (CAT award) for Best Leading Actress in a Play for her role as ‘Hermia’ in the Griffith and Regional Association of the Performing Arts (GRAPA) ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’.

PLEASE BRING ALONG some snacks, lunch and a drink bottle. Please also come wearing a COSTUME (see notes above for details) and closed in shoes.

Parents will be able to watch a short performance the students have devised together at the end of the workshop.
