Creating Theatre
Do you like theatre? When you go and see a show, do you ask yourself: how do the actors and actresses play? Why? Is the same thing happening every night? Who chooses the set, costumes, lighting?
Four Tuesdays in June, Emilie Leclerc offers you to explore the theatre world and the play Porc-Épic (Porcupine) written by David Paquet. Then, for a moment and depending on one of the theatre jobs that you’re most interested in, put yourself in the shoes of an actor/actress, director, author or creator.

- When? Tuesdays 2, 9, 16 and 23 of June, from 2.30 to 3.30pm.
Registration for these workshops is now closed.
