After-School

Drama Workshops

No one does drama like Tantrum.

Tantrum’s weekly after-school drama classes in Merewether and Rathmines are designed for young people looking to spark their creativity, share their ideas, connect with others, and engage in play. Our workshops are playful, non-competitive environments where young people are encouraged to express and, above all, be themselves.

At Tantrum, we are leaders in youth-led creative practice – we support and empower young people to take ownership of the creative process. They investigate, interrogate and explore the world around them through play and performance making. We don’t just train actors – we nurture makers, story-tellers, critical thinkers and artists.

We play with purpose.

Registrations are open now.

What does a Tantrum Workshop look like?

Tantrum believes that a workshop cohort should follow their own curiosity and ideas. Facilitators follow the lead of the cohort, so every workshop is different. Activities might include:

- - - - drama games
        
        performance and improvisation
        
        story-telling
        
        character development
        
        writing
        
        devising scenes
        
        design
        
        …and so much more!
