Experiencing the theatre this summer

The Masquerade Summer Experience is back with a series of workshops for all ages.

The idea is to give youngsters and the young at heart the chance to act, dance and sing.

The experience offers working with foreign tutors and fresh artistic ideas.

Applicants will be working with some of the best tutors in the field, including a freelance professional theatre director who has worked for the National Theatre in London.

During its recent visit to the UK, Masquerade acquired the services of one of the leading freelance directors from London's National Theatre, Maxwell Key.

He will be conducting acting workshops tackling different texts ranging from The Grimm Tales, to Cabaret, to works by Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller.

A new workshop will focus on the ever-popular Street Dance and Hip-Hop.

Jorell Coiffic-Kamall, Desrinea Ramus and Joe Chaplin will be teaming up to conduct these sessions, covering many styles and techniques such as Locking, Popping, raw Hip-Hop, and Break-Dancing.

The Masquerade Summer Experience will take place between July 23 and 28.
