OVER 18s WEEKLY WORKSHOP
PLAY UP!
PLAY UP! is a weekly evening drama workshop for adults (18 and over) who want to make, perform, and play. Through energetic drama games and devising tasks, the PLAY UP! crew move, take on characters, build worlds, and laugh a lot.
In 2022, we held a passionate criminal trial, produced multiple fashion shows, wrote a rap for a retired basketball player, and created a micro public art exhibition in a fridge. We are non-serious artists who say YES and just make stuff.
PLAY UP! runs every Monday evening for nine weeks, and is a space to connect, play, experiment, and laugh.
Led by Tantrum’s Creative Director, Nel Kentish, PLAY UP! is an inclusive and safe space to revisit your high school drama class, or the glory days of practicing choreography in your lunch break behind the demountable.
Whether you are new to drama, re-igniting an artistic flare, or a seasoned performer, PLAY UP! will remind you why playing is fundamental to being human.
Where and When?
Our Merewether Workshops are held at our studio at 101 City Road Merewether, NSW 2291.
