Fast Theatre Fest - Years 3-4

A creative theatre workshop for Years 3-4 students to devise and perform their own short plays with professional guidance.

Welcome to your very own theatre challenge designed especially for young creatives in Years 3 and 4. This engaging workshop invites children to explore their storytelling and performance skills in a supportive and fun environment. Whether your child loves writing, acting, or enjoys being part of a creative team, this event offers a fantastic opportunity to develop their talents.

What to Expect

Participants will be divided into small teams and given three key elements on the first day: a prop, a line of dialogue, and a surprise element that adds an exciting twist. Guided by an experienced ATYP professional, children will learn the fundamentals of creating new theatre work including character development, storytelling techniques, and performance skills. The workshop culminates in a short play performance shared with family and friends, providing a wonderful sense of achievement.
