Registrations now open for theatre workshops 2022 - Massive Company

We hope you are keeping well and wish you all the best for the remainder of the year and the summer months ahead. Enormous thanks and appreciation to everyone who has engaged with Massive Theatre Company throughout 2021.

Massive Theatre Company is excited to announce that REGISTRATIONS are NOW OPEN for our theatre workshops in the first half of 2022.

Foundations Workshops:

Our FREE theatre workshops are designed for rangatahi aged between 14-24 years. Suitable for all levels of experience, students will learn how to develop and explore their theatre performing and making skills using their own ideas, stories and experiences. They will create theatre using Massive’s unique style of making. Please encourage your students to register now as these workshops do fill up quickly. They will receive email and text reminders from us in the lead-up to the workshop, so they don’t forget.

Massive Nui Ensemble - Music Video

Auckland may still be in lockdown, but Massive Nui Ensemble keeps right on going! Led by teaching artists Villa Lemanu & Carla Martell, our awesome emerging artists worked together online to create their solo pieces, which they then filmed at home using their own devices. We had a blast making these, and we hope you find joy in them too!

Massive Nui Ensemble is our training ground for emerging artists, meeting every second Saturday to develop performance and devising skills.
