Accelerate:
For Ages 16 – 18

Semester 1, 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.

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.

  • Please check in using our QR code – it’s not required but it helps in identifying exposure sites.
