IZIT? Street Theatre workshops

"there is always a time and place to make people laugh."

This is the philosophy behind the workshops IZIT? Entertainment presents.Street Theatre_Pointers

Incorporating improvisation, comedy and character development, participants will discover the most wonderfu l and illuminating characters lying within each individual, whether they are budding Drama Students, local bus drivers or business people. The Street Theatre  Workshop provides each participant with a platform for creating unique and charming characters and concepts.

Within a team framework, you will learn the importance of group awareness, how to work with the general public on a performance level and the etiquettes of Performing Street Theatre. IZIT? will explore with you the seedlings of creating a ‘Street Theatre Character’ which will develop and may even culminate into a group performance on the last day (subject to the workshops coinciding with a Festival or Event).
