A Guide to Finding the Workshop for You

If you’ve never taken part in a Massive workshop, what are you waiting for?? With several to choose from and most completely free, our Marketing and Development Manager, Chris Connolly, walks you through what we have on offer to help you decide which is the perfect one for you.

Learning the Massive way means working with others, creating pieces from your own experiences and putting ‘play’ at the forefront of everything. Here are the workshops that are available to register for online today.

MASSIVE FOUNDATIONS
(AGES 14-25)

These free workshops are tailored for rangatahi aged 14 to 25, regardless of your prior experience in theatre. Participants delve into acting, improvisation and movement, using your own stories to craft compelling performances. The environment is supportive and playful, aiming to build confidence, creativity and a strong connection among participants. Workshops are still available in Auckland and Waikato, Wellington and Rotorua throughout the rest of the year.

These weekend workshops focus on the foundational skills and unique methodologies that define Massive's theatre-making. The content evolves with each session, ensuring fresh experiences for returning participants. While there's no set fee, a koha is appreciated.
