In this theatre workshop, teens will have the wonderful opportunity to try their hands at some theatre games, improvisations and acting exercises. Everyone will participate in this exciting exploration without feeling put on the spot. The workshop will begin with some fun and inviting warm-up games that gradually build their way to more challenging and creative improvisations.
