Canberra Youth Theatre has just released its program for the second half of the year, with lots of fun to be had in the latest drama workshops which are enrolling now.
7-9 year olds have on offer two fun workshops for little actors who want to explore the magic of theatre. Participants will play drama games and actively engage their imaginations through creative movement and vocal expression as they improvise characters to create performances of either:-
Giraffes can’t Dance by Giles Andreae….a tale about a giraffe who loves to dance but can’t seem to find his own groove OR
The Bremen town Musicians by the Brothers Grimm….the story of a rag taggle posse of animals seeking freedom and a home to call their own.
Both workshops are on at Gorman House Arts Centre from 4:30 to 6:00 pm Wednesdays commencing 30 July.
10-12 yr olds have on offer
Bad Habits: The Littlest Biggest Musical – a humorous and deeply irritating musical set in the offices for the Ministry for Bad Habits – a story of intrigue, betrayal, mystery, love, and……annoyance. OR
Go Go McGoo’s Goulash: On her first day as an apprentice chef, the heroic Go Go McGoulash is chosen by the MYSTERY CHEF to go on an epic quest to find the magic spices to make the goulash of protection to save her world…from evil! Will she find those spices? Can Go Go save the world? and what does her goulash taste like? Participants in this crazy workshop will answer these questions and more as they create this play.
Both 10-12 workshops run from 4:30 to 6:30 pm at Gorman House Arts Centre in the C Block Theatre. Bad Habits on Mondays, and Go Go on Tuesdays.
The fun isn’t just for the younger members. 13-25 year olds can write their own scripts with Artists Unite. 13-17 yr olds have the chance to ham it up in the exaggerated melodrama of OverActors Anonymous, or to strut their stuff in front of the camera rather than on the stage in Screen Acting: Lights, Camera, Action.
All these and more (in fact 11 exciting workshops and productions) are enrolling now. Workshops generally run for 2 hours a week for 15 weeks. Enrolments close 18 July and workshops and classes commence the week of the 28th July.
