“Into the Unknown” – Summer Workshop 2 (Seniors)
For our older students, this workshop dives into coming-of-age stories – independence, identity, ambition, friendship and the moments that change you.
Across the week, performers will explore material inspired by shows such as Legally Blonde, Mean Girls, Bring It On and Newsies, tackling bold ensemble numbers, sharp character work and storytelling with real edge and humour.
It’s a chance to work with slightly more mature material in a supportive, ambitious rehearsal space – stretching performance skills while still having a brilliant time with friends.
Both age groups will work alongside one another throughout the week, developing their own material in age-specific groups while also collaborating on selected moments and coming together as one full company.
Big themes. Strong ensemble work. And plenty of laughs along the way.
