Accelerate:
For Ages 16 – 18
Semester 2, 2022
Accelerate your performance skills with our workshop program designed to help young artists aged 16 – 18 develop their theatre skills and creativity.
Led by a professional teaching artist, throughout the course you will explore contemporary performance techniques based on current industry practices and learn creative strategies to help pave the way for establishing practice as an emerging artist.
This course is the perfect complement to HSC Drama studies and a valuable tool in tertiary performance training preparation.
Across Semester 2, all Studio Q classes will devise a 7 – 10 minute work to present at the Annual Studio Q Showcase on Saturday 26 November 2022. Stay tuned – more information will be available closer to the date.
Studio Q classes will be proceeding in-person at The Joan in 2022. Should the current NSW Health Order change and restrict activities on site at The Joan, classes will instead be delivered online via Zoom.
Before enrolling in Studio Q 2022, please download and read the Studio Q Information Kit including the Terms & Conditions and Covid Safety Plan, and contact us if you have any questions at creativelearning@penrith.city
