You will connect with people who are or have been in the same position as you, providing you with targeted advice on how to tackle each and every challenge you may have. The workshop will be highly interactive, with experienced members of the performing arts community available to provide instant hints, feedback, and to be your ‘guide on the side’. The workshop will make sure you cover all the bases involved in bringing your community together to support one of the biggest highlights on the school calendar.
