Inclusive School Holiday Workshops
Speak Up Studio’s Little Experts workshops are fun, engaging, and finish with an exciting outcome – usually a performance, photoshoot or a fancy craft to take home. Designed for maximum energy and creativity to capture the imagination of our littlest learners.
Our holiday workshops run from 9am to 3.30pm each day. Bring a packed lunch! Before and after care is also available.
$88 for each day
A Play in a Day… no way!? In this workshop, students develop advanced skills and techniques as they bring a show to life in just one day. Students will leave inspired, confident and proud.
We begin with a theme and some games to get our creativity flowing. From there, our performance evolves as we create characters, write the script, pick music and create costumes and props. You won’t just take to the stage, you’ll have a say in the creative and artistic direction of the day.
A Play In A Day workshops run from 9am – 3.30pm. Bring a packed lunch!
$99 for each day
Born to Perform students experience the thrill of putting on a production from start to finish, in just one week. From auditions and casting, to rehearsing, character and skill development (like singing, mime and movement), learning lines, and performing, Born to Perform workshops are filled with energy, focus and passion as students work together to put a show on stage in record time in our plays and musical theatre workshops.
If your child talks about wanting to be an actor, if they wish they could perform on stage more often, or if they look forward to speech and drama each week and want to do more, then this is the workshop for them.
Workshops are available for students in grades 1 to 12.
