Tantrum Youth Arts presents PLAY MAKERS: Marooned!


A 2 day drama workshop for ages 11-17 at The Place, Charlestown.


Welcome to drama paradise! You’ve been marooned on a deserted island and it’s time to make shelter.


Using found object and oddities, participants will craft a physical world, building identities, history, and stories. Participants will then breathe life into the stories through characters and costumes, creating a new play.


Join Tantrum Youth Arts these school holidays as we build, experiment and create a performance in just two days! This is an amazing opportunity to collaborate with other creative young people and work with local professional artists and theatre makers. 


Activities run from 9.00 am to 3:30 pm – drop-offs/pick-ups will be supervised from 8:30 am, both days.
