Students
Masterclasses
Students will take part in two 90 minute master classes.
These will be lead by practitioners from PUSH Theatre and SITI.
Teachers are invited to take part in two 90 minute PD sessions with the MC leaders at no extra cost.
Theatre
All participants will attend two professional theatre performances.
The first is a bespoke performance from renowned physical theatre company Push Theatre.
The second is Broadway’s COME FROM AWAY. A Best Musical winner all across North America, written by Tony nominees Irene Sankoff and David Hein. This New York Times Critics’ pick takes you into the heart of the remarkable true story of 7,000 stranded passengers and the small town in Newfoundland that welcomed them. Cultures clashed and nerves ran high, but uneasiness turned into trust, music soared into the night, and gratitude grew into enduring friendships.
