Teens aged 13 – 18 have the extraordinary opportunity to participate in an exclusive all-day musical theatre masterclass with the esteemed resident director of Hamilton

Australia, Dean Drieberg, at The Joan on 21 or 22 March. This intensive workshop is designed for aspiring performers who are eager to hone their craft and gain

invaluable insights into the world of musical theatre.

Throughout the day, participants will explore the core elements of acting, with a particular focus on character development and emotional storytelling. In addition to

refining their vocal technique, attendees will learn how to bring authenticity and depth to their musical performances, creating a powerful connection with their

audience.

The workshop will also emphasise the importance of movement and physicality on stage, offering expert guidance on enhancing stage presence, choreography, and

overall physical expression. These skills are essential for building a strong, dynamic performance that resonates with both the character and the audience.

The Friday masterclass is designed specifically for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Colour) and other underrepresented students and participation is by

invitation only.

Regarding Friday’s workshop, Q Theatre’s Manager, Ryan Whitworth-Jones said, “Q Theatre is offering a masterclass for young BIPOC artists to help address the

systemic barriers that historically limit access to musical theatre opportunities. Many BIPOC performers face a lack of representation, mentorship, and culturally relevant

training. This program provides a supportive space for artists to develop their skills, connect with industry professionals, and see themselves reflected on stage. By

fostering diverse talent, we aim to create a more inclusive and representative musical theatre landscape.”

The Saturday masterclass is open to all teens.

Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn from one of the masters of the industry and take your musical theatre skills to the next level. Places are limited –
