Opera Workshops

IN ASSOCIATION WITH OPERA HOLLAND PARK

It is well-known that families with young children face barriers to visiting the theatre for fear of disturbing the show with crying, fidgeting and agitation from your little ones. Workshops will include multi-sensory activities, group singing and music based around Opera Holland Park productions, which will provide a safe and nurturing space at the theatre in which parents can explore opera together with their children and enjoy a creative and musical day out. Breast-feeding mums are welcome, as are grandparents!

Musical Theatre Workshops

IN ASSOCIATION WITH ARTSED

The aim of this workshop is to inspire the next generation of budding young performers, by transporting them into the world of musical theatre. Those involved will learn a song (from London's West End) during this workshop, which will involve singing and dancing. They will then perform the song at 'Chiswick at the Musicals' on Saturday 8th June amongst West End stars, as part of the Chiswick Proms.

Comedy Workshops

IN ASSOCIATION WITH SCHOOL OF COMEDY

Exploring improvisation and character role play through comedy. We focus on encouraging all the children to have the confidence through playing and performing in front of their peers without them knowing they’ve done so. Covering stand up, sketch and character comedy.  We encourage all the children to try their hand at their best bits, fuelling them with a confidence that spills over into their every day life. The key here is learning through laughter.
