Launchpad Ensemble – Theatre Workshop

If you have an imaginative young person in your life who lives in the greater Albury-Wodonga region, please share this exciting creative opportunity with them.

For young people in Years 9 -12, HotHouse Theatre presents a 5-day professional theatre workshop on 6 – 10 July (first week of NSW school holidays) as part of our Launchpad Ensemble program. 

The workshop is delivered by Australia’s flagship youth theatre company, Australian Theatre for Young People, the Sydney-based company renowned for creating and nurturing contemporary theatre for young people by young people. 

Professional actor and teaching artist, Lana Filies, is our guide and mentor for this workshop. We’re thrilled to have her back in the region following high praise from teachers and students at this year’s Riverina Drama Camp.

Working with fresh new texts, students will explore character, story, and performance with depth and precision. Focus areas include:

•  Voice and movement
•  Scene analysis
•  Character objectives
•  Body in space
•  Rhythm of text

This might be just the boost of inspiration and mentoring needed to support the creative expression of a young person in your life. 

It’s also the perfect time of year for senior drama students to extend and refine their skills as they move closer to assessments!
