Theatre of Image conducts workshops at the Powerhouse Museum that intermix the disciplines of art, drama and music in each workshop. This practice is underpinned by the belief that all the arts are brothers (Voltaire).

We emphasise the creative process, focusing young energies to tackle problem-solving in their artistic quest - building their self-confidence and giving them a great sense of achievement. We promote a team spirit in building creative ideas. This increases awareness of the joys and benefits of creative collaboration and camaraderie in the arts and in general life. These workshops put young people in touch with a broad choice of artistic facets in the performing & visual arts and are lots of fun.

5-7 year-olds

The 5-7 year-olds focus on encouraging individual imagination, team collaboration and the joys of creative play.

8-12 year olds

8-10 and 11-12 year age-groups focus more on skills - learning actual techniques in Drama, Art & Music.
