The kaupapa of SHIFT workshops is to create a safe space for emerging and current practitioners to gain free professional development from established practitioners in the performing arts community. The workshops will focus on the practical nature of theatre/dance in regards to technique and production, but all tutors coming in will be open to conversations around mental health. SHIFT believes these conversations are essential because of NZ’s need for discussion around managing mental health, especially in the arts sector. Our workshops will focus on body work (dance for actors), production, devising, acting for dancers, and directing.

Workshop to be held at Auckland Theatre Company On Monday nights commencing November 4th at 5.30pm.

Tutors include: Ahi Karunaharan, Sophie Roberts, Kelly Nash, Lydia Zanetti, Alexa Wilson,Aloali’i Tapu
