HOLIDAY WORKSHOPS
ZigZag Theatre run a range of workshops in the school holidays. Our Holiday Workshops are a place for young people (whether you are a current ZigZag Theatre member or not!) to come together, delve deep into the imagination and develop fundamental performance skills in a safe, supportive environment – all whilst having heaps of fun!
Our Secondary holiday workshops offer specialised intensives in a particular area allowing young people to develop their technique and performance skills in areas such as physical theatre, clowning, screen acting, audition technique, contemporary performance, devising theatre, improvisation and much more!

Are you looking for a fun and creative way to spend your holiday? Look no further than our Acting Essentials holiday workshop designed for grades 4-6 students who love to perform!
This workshop is the perfect opportunity for your child to develop fundamental acting skills, gain confidence, and explore their creativity. With a focus on the basic principles of acting, students will learn to express themselves, create compelling characters, and work together as a team.

IMPROVISATION MASTERCLASS
Improvisation is a MUST HAVE skill for all aspiring and current actors. As we mature some of us become terrified of the prospect of performing on the spot.
