ACE - ARTS CAMP FOR EDUCATORS
Why should school camps just be for students? This year we have collaborated with the best theatre and arts organisations to offer a premium professional development program that could complete your accreditation hours in one go... an Arts Camp for Educators (ACE)!
You’ll have the chance to join preeminent arts providers for two action-packed days filled with a wide range of accredited professional development opportunities, and by night you’ll have tickets to some of the hottest shows in town. Now we think that’s pretty ACE!
Hosted at Sydney Opera House, you’ll be spoilt for choice with sessions provided by Bell Shakespeare Company, Sydney Theatre Company, atyp, Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Sydney Dance Company, and the Museum of Contemporary Art. Sydney Opera House theatre technicians will also run sessions to help you brush up those technical skills for your school production needs.
Accredited sessions for both Primary and Secondary teachers will be offered.
