THEATRE GAMES

Willi Henley is a long time Youth Theatre tutor with massive experience and even bigger energy! He will guide your child through a series of theatre games that encourage teamwork, communication, and creative thinking. These games are designed to help your child build confidence and feel comfortable expressing themselves in a safe, supportive environment.
Props are an essential element in helping to tell a story. They give the audience clues about the time, place and emotion in a scene and help to ground the actors performance and give actions purpose. Under the guidance of props master Maura Bailie-Bellew, to create props for one of the most climactic scenes in Fantastic Mr Fox.
Students will get to see their work come alive in the July Holiday performance.
Theatre Sets come in all shapes and sizes and every piece put onto the stage must have a purpose in the telling of the story. Working with set designer, Kylie Penn, students will learn about elements of set, the process of designing for the stage and participate in the construction of set pieces to be used in our upcoming mid-year Youth Production!
They say never judge a book by it’s cover but, in designing costumes for theatre, Kylie Penn believes it is essential for an audience to be able to understand who a character is at first glance.
In this workshop we will explore different materials and techniques to create unique and memorable costumes inspired by the characters of Fantastic Mr Fox. Each participant will make their own set of animal ears to take home! We will also look at the importance of make-up in creating character and experiment with face-painting.
Your child will learn how to compose music that enhances the story and emotion of Fantastic Mr Fox. They'll explore different styles and instruments to create an original musical score.
Learn the incredibly valuable art of sound and lighting design and application for theatre!
This workshop will offer students a basic understanding of the principals of sound and lighting planning as well as the practical use of equipment during the design process.
Inspired by our upcoming show, participants will get to see how lighting and sound design will bring the world of Fantastic Mr Fox to life. Students will learn how to create mood and atmosphere with these tech elements to create a seamless theatrical experience.
