Let’s open the door to drama and see all the magic there is inside. This workshop will allow participants to explore the imaginative and empowering world of drama. Over the day the group will explore a range of theatre games, that will provide an understanding of character development, performance skills, and storytelling. This is the time and place for using your voice, body, and mind to create.
