SHOCK LAB: Masterclass Series 2025
Event description
SHOCK LAB is a new Masterclass series presented by Shock Therapy Arts which will give performers the opportunity to train, keep their tools sharp, and be exposed to different performance methodologies. These masterclasses will provide high level training to Gold Coast and Southeast QLD based artists.
These 8 one-off events will be intimate and in-depth, with each guest teaching artist hand-picked for their unique knowledge. Across the 8 planned events in 2025, the content will cover a diverse breadth of techniques and styles. As performers, we rarely get the opportunity to train with someone who is outside of our genre, but we believe it is important in order to “collect” new techniques to fold into ones’ own practice.
Each Masterclass will focus on a different performance style including:
The Shock Therapy Way
Comedic Acting
Political Theatre and Devising
Shakespeare and Voice
Putting your story on stage
Movement for actors
Holistic wellbeing and self care for artists
Performance Art
SHOCK LAB will provide enriching learning and training opportunities to emerging and established Gold Coast and South East QLD based performers and performance-makers. Masterclasses are designed for senior secondary students (aged 15 and over) through to established professionals.
