SPARK Workshop – Physical Theatre/ Storytelling

Award-winning company Asking for Trouble has been creating collaboratively in schools and communities since 2008. Creating Collaboratively – Physical Storytelling is an ideal addition to any school curriculum, designed to inspire both students and teachers through a dynamic and creative approach.
With curiosity and confidence, artists Christy and Luke will guide students and teachers to explore their favourite collection of processes to devise their own original work. Asking for Trouble focus on finding ways to incorporate games and play into live theatre, making it accessible and FUN.
Students will move their bodies, laugh, connect with each other, and try new things.
In the Introduction to Physical Theatre workshops, students are introduced to new ideas, skills, concepts and perspectives as they are led through a series of fun physical activities. Christy and Luke will encourage students to take creative risks and push their boundaries, and then engage them in reflective exercises to help them learn from their experiences. This workshop can be tailored to explore a particular idea or theme as a way to develop original youth led material for an upcoming school performance.
This program is perfect for schools looking to enrich their curriculum with creative, collaborative, and physically engaging activities that not only enhance artistic skills but also promote personal growth, wellbeing and confidence.
Physical Storytelling Workshops will be held BEFORE and AFTER the ASKING FOR TROUBLE PERFORMANCE in Term 4 October 29 2025.
