Get inspired by Sidney Nolan's theatre and costume designs and create your own original set design idea!
In this 2-hour workshop, children will embark on a guided tour of our Total Work of Art - Nolan and the Stage exhibition before diving into fun drama exercises that explore composition, space, and storytelling.
Participants will then select their favorite exhibition piece as inspiration for their very own minimalist set design. Suited for budding artists, performers, and creative thinkers aged 8-14 years. Materials provided. Bring your imagination, we'll supply everything else!
Accompanying carers attend free.
