Frequently Asked Questions 

+ What happens in a Performing Arts workshop?

Performing Arts Workshops will include a mix of script work and improvisation, character study and storytelling, voice and singing, movement and choreography. We'll learn terminology and skills relevant to the study of Performing Arts, warm-ups and skills relating to voice and movement, role play activities and team building games. Sessions will be tailored to age and experience.

+ What will I gain from these workshops?

Jar of Arts aims to nurture our sense of creative expression so we may apply this to all aspects of our lives. This means practising skills of listening, speaking, problem solving, lateral thinking, focus, role-play (empathy), team work and collaboration just to name a few! Some invaluable life skills!

+ Will there be performances?

Jar of Arts nurtures the growth of each individual at their pace and there will often be opportunities within workshops to showcase work and share your ideas when feeling confident. Showcases and performances to outside audiences will evolve should there be interest from participants. At this stage, there are no expectations for participants to commit to extra rehearsals for large performances.

+ What do I bring?

Yourself and a bottle of water! Being creative can sometimes be thirsty work ;) We like to leave as much room in the studio for workshopping so a small bag if necessary. Comfortable clothing is essential. Participants must be able to move comfortably as needed. T-shirt and comfortable pants or shorts are recommended. (Students can participate barefoot, at their own risk)

+ Do parents stay for the workshop?

For the Y1-3 and Y3-6? Not usually.

It would be appreciated if parents leave the studio promptly after sign in. While parents are very welcome to watch our workshop through the windows, please be considerate of students who may be nervous of an informal audience. We prepare a small and informal showcase of our work where parents are invited to be our audience.

For the Littlies (0-4?) Yes. This is a requirement.

These workshops are a chance for both Parent/Guardian and child to connect and explore songs together. It’s great to have a repertoire of ideas to share at home as well.
