About the workshops
Shock Therapy Arts, an award-winning Gold Coast theatre company, will bring students an immersive experience in live theatre. Students will first watch one of Shock Therapy’s impactful performances, followed by hands-on workshops where they’ll be introduced to key performance skills. Through characterisation exercises and practical activities, students will work directly with professional artists, gaining insights into the art of storytelling and learning how to enhance their own performances. This is an exciting opportunity to engage with theatre that challenges, inspires, and equips students with valuable dramatic skills.
