(18+ Years)

By Velvet Curtain Theatre

Dates: To be announced

🌟 Program Philosophy

This program is built on the belief that the most effective way to learn theatre is through a structured production process.

Rather than separating training from performance, participants learn through ongoing rehearsal, ensemble work, and guided creation — similar to how professional productions are developed.

  • Clear rehearsal structure
  • Ensemble collaboration
  • Voice, movement, and text work
  • Consistent performance development

No prior theatre experience is required. What matters most is commitment, curiosity, and willingness to work collaboratively.

📘 Program Overview

This is a 3-month, production-oriented theatre program designed for adults who want to experience a complete rehearsal-to-performance process.

Participants work through structured training, ensemble rehearsals, and guided creation to develop an original, director-led theatrical production.

Beginners are welcome. Commitment to the process is valued more than experience.

🎬 Production Vision

This program centres on the creation of an original theatrical production.

Rather than working on pre-written scenes, participants collaborate as an ensemble to develop new material through text, movement, improvisation, and rehearsal.

The director guides narrative, structure, and staging to shape a cohesive, performance-ready stage work.

The final production is conceived as a complete theatrical work with scope for future showcases.
