We are a non-profit organisation, whose services include theatre festivals, workshops and other
theatre-related events.

Participants need to have learnt some rich text - Shakespeare or Chekov for example, but other satisfying text will be okay too. Wear comfortable clothes.
We will warm up together, using Fitzmaurice Voice techniques, activating resonance in the body and encouraging flexibility and responsivity in the voice.
We will explore the selected texts together looking for opportunities to allow the voice to reveal character and intention, and we'll look at how our voices are received by the audience.
Fergus is an international award-winning entertainer, with three decades of experience in performing and teaching, nationally and internationally. His specialties include physical theatre, mime, circus skills and stand-up comedy.
Anna is one of Wellington's most talented and accomplished set designers, much in demand for community theatre productions around the region.
Set designing from whoa to go - from the initial ideas of what the play's set requirements are, through to developing a 3-dimensional set using modern computer technology.
