Young performers make for great theatre...  


Young performers are often cast in major professional theatre works.  Tim Etchell’s show That Night Follows Day  was cast entirely with children and teenagers from 9 to 15 years of age, and Billy Elliot  was based around a child and therefore had many young performers, and Graeme Murphy's Nutcracker has a child in the lead and Acrobat's Propaganda included the artist's own children in their show.  We see our children on the professional stage.

Young performers are great to watch as they are not inhibited. They are not afraid to be different. And they are our future.

Upstaged Workshop invites all young performers to experience the world of professional theatre making with  for the upcoming holiday workshop.  The artists behind Upstaged are working in the professional arts community to create ideas for the performing arts audience. The skills covered range from physical theatre, dance, drama, voice, circus, mime and music.  In the past our performers have explored Shakespeare, Monty Python, Commedia dell’Arte, Broadway, Mime, Vaudeville and Contemporary Circus. 

Contact us for details regarding the upcoming workshop and the artists involved.

Upstaged Workshops are a 4 and 5 day holiday programs for performers from the ages of 7 to 17 years every school holiday break. Our teachers are industry leaders with experience in projects as: Adelaide Fringe Festival, Billy Elliot, Cirque du Soleil, The Producers, Priscilla: The Musical, We Will Rock You, So You Think You Can Dance and many others.  Of course no prior experience is required.

With Upstaged we can give our youth a growing but safe way to learn an artform as members of a team.  Fill their minds and hours with theatre and music and keep them off the tv, mobile and ipod.  Let them really live!

As the course is geared to introduce the elements of performance, there is a showing for parents and friends on the final day. Candid photographs (as seen below) and dvds are available.  Upstaged is for any young performer looking for a window into the world of movement, expression, performance and performance.http://www.timetchells.com/projects/performances/that-night-follows-day/http://www.timetchells.com/projects/performances/that-night-follows-day/http://www.gintzburger.net/acrobat-eng/mailto:info@upstagedworkshop.com?subject=Upstaged%20Holiday%20Workshophttp://www.upstagedworkshop.com/who.htmlshapeimage_2_link_0shapeimage_2_link_1shapeimage_2_link_2shapeimage_2_link_3shapeimage_2_link_4
