• Delivered full week intensives for Massive Nui Ensemble.
• Delivered shorter workshops for teachers (3-4 hours).
• Delivered Curious Conversations, a group for Massive Company members who wanted to stay creative during lockdowns. These met weekly for approximately 2 hours at a time.
• Rehearsed a full show, Half of the Sky, over 4 weeks and then did 2 live Shows on Zoom.
• Delivered zooms into classrooms talking about Massive productions they were studying.
• Delivered zoom conversations and small workshops between Massive rangatahi and Japanese students studying theatre.

Sam is keen to design the workshop around the needs and interest of the participants who sign up.
It may be experiential with some talking/discussing/answering questions or more or less of one of these areas.
