Stage School: a theatre making workshop for kids

Sunday 3 November, 10.30AM—12.30PM

Dive into this acting, singing, dancing, drawing, making mayhem and create a spontaneous theatre show.

Led by Deep Soulful Sweats and their team of talented artists, you and your family will embark on an imaginative journey, exploring every aspect of the magical world of theatre. Whether you dream of being the star, the director, or the set designer – or maybe all three at once – the stage is yours.

From set building to script writing, costume making to singing, whether you’re a wallflower or a lead actor, there’s something for everyone. Working with recycled and repurposed materials, we’ll transform the stage ready for the all-star cast of participants, and get up and give it a go in an unrehearsed, group-devised, wild and wonderful show.

This eclectic mix of brilliant, surprising and chaotic elements will come together to create a show like nothing you’ve ever seen before. No experience or expertise required, all ideas are good ideas in this mash-up magic.

These sessions are best suited for 7 – 11 year-olds and their guardians. Guardians are welcome to join in the fun, or else play the part of adoring audience.

Ages: 7+ years
Cost: FREE
Registration essential: T 03 5760 2619 or gallery@benalla.vic.gov.au
