IN-SCHOOL ĀKONGA WORKSHOPS

$100 per workshop

Intro to Auckland Theatre Company’s Things That Matter

Ākonga will grapple with the same creative questions and challenges as the team behind Auckland Theatre Company’s Things That Matter and experiment with their own performance or design solutions. This will prepare them to encounter Things That Matter not just as audience, but as creatives.

Unpacking Auckland Theatre Company’s Things That Matter

Students will investigate their theatre experience in terms of action: what did Things That Matter do — to me, to my friends, to the audience — and how did it do it? We will then look to developing our creative/ critical language to describe and better understand these effects.
