Join Richard for a sensational Street Theatre 101 workshop right here at Youth ARC!

Roving acts, also known as roaming entertainment or strolling acts, are live performances that happen in an interactive and mobile manner. Unlike stage performances that are confined to a specific area, roving acts move through the crowd, engaging the audience on a personal level and creating memorable moments.

This workshop will introduce you to the fundamentals of roving entertainment. It will then progress to help develop characters using costumes owned by the City of Hobart to develop a routine that you will get the chance to perform as part of the 2024 festive season in Hobart (and you might even earn a little money doing it).

The workshop will include:

character and back story development - "Who am I and why am I here?"
understanding the use of space
how to think on the move
how to move and work together as a group
how to incorporate improvised performance.

Please check in at the front counter on arrival and let the team know you have a ticket.
