Access acting, music and movement exercises designed to stimulate the creative imagination and develop skills in personal and creative self expression. Designed to cater for people with mild to moderate physical and/or intellectual disability, these workshops are a fantastic weekly creative outlet, which allow participants to work towards a performance outcome.

Run over an 8-week term, we are proud to offer two programs as part of our Access Ensemble. Choose from:

• Young Adults Ensemble for emerging artists aged 18 -26
• Adults Ensemble for artists aged 26+

Support workers are welcome to sit in on all workshops.

BEHIND THE SCENES

We invite parents and supporters of Studio Q to join us for a free Studio Q presentation in our final week of Term 2. Each of our courses share a short 5 – 10 minute “Behind the Scenes” series of activities or scenes, providing an insight into their creativity and the skills they’ve been developing through theatre training. The event is included as part of the standard student course fees and is a wonderful day for our teams to come together. We hope you can join us!

Participants: Friday 11 June, 10:30am – 12:30pm
