EXPLORING EXPRESSION

Workshops designed around performance, movement & mental wellbeing to help build self-confidence & break language barriers.

FREE for UniCamillus Students

DATES: April 6th – May 11th – June 15th 

HOURS: 11:30-13:30 or 14:00-16:00

 

Hoo Hah House & APSEchoes have the honour of inviting you, yes you, to a theatrical masterclass suited to participants of all skills, builds and capabilities.

Our team of professionals are providing a safe space for you to explore your creativity, to surprise yourself, and boost your confidence.

We have joined forces to bring the most exciting and comprehensive masterclasses, created from the blend of our passions: theatrical arts and introspection through counselling and the English language.

Join us for a 2-hour session to play between the given and the potential world.

In a safe space, along with your peers and our guidance, be ready to have some fun while exploring your own self, your relation to your moving body, thinking mind, your emotions and the energy that connects us all.

Our aim for these open days is to support and uplift a willing group on a journey to discover strength through devising games and exercises that will connect you with your inner child, empower one’s presence and create a free platform to experiment with the English language.

PROGRAM

These workshops are tailored around finding the joy of playing and harnessing it to conquer the English language and establish a physical and mental wellbeing vocabulary for the students to access. We believe theatre as a transformative power and can support people at any stage of their lives to learn more about themselves and grow into the person they want to become. 

We hope to create a community that can approach uncomfortable situations and conversations with the best attitude and energy.

  • Day 1 - April 6th
    Me, myself and I
    Start exploring your own hidden potentials and reflect on how you are perceived from yourself and others.
  • Day 2 - May 11st
    Myself and the group
    Meet the group and work together to create something beautiful, connect with them and notice how smooth a process can be.
  • Day 3 - June 15th
    The group and the space
    All together go beyond reality and begin to realise how different atmospheres change ourselves and the group, learn to play there with your peers and let’s think about how that projects on our daily lives.
