ActNow Theatre's Community Workshops provide an incredible opportunity for you to explore your creativity and build your skills with support from professional artists.
These FREE workshops are designed to bring the creative community together and allow for an exchange of ideas and expertise. You’ll have the chance to build a broad range of skills — from dance and movement, to writing and photography — facilitated by experienced artists from across First Nations, Global Majority (POC), LGBTQASB+, Disabled and Neurodiverse communities.
Come along, learn and build connections with other like-minded folk. All experience levels are welcome, ages 18 and over.
