Antarctica-Masterclass

Artist to Artist Masterclass Making Sensory Theatre with Phillida Eves and Amélie Bal, Rosán Sensory Adventures (Ireland)

This experience includes a ticket to the workshop and the opportunity to see the performance.

The Making Sensory Theatre Masterclass invites artists, educators, parents and carers to explore the power and possibilities of sensory engagement for children and young people with and without additional needs.

Phillida Eves and Amélie Bal will share the creative process behind the co-creation of Antarctica!, developed with eight young people with moderate and complex needs. Through this lens, they will introduce their artistic practice and philosophy, offering insight into the collaborative and inclusive methods that shape their work.

The masterclass will provide a direct look into their creative approaches, alongside space for conversation, reflection and peer-to-peer exchange.

Participants are warmly invited to bring along an object that has a soothing or calming effect on them. 

Open to anyone curious about this area, the session does not require performance skills or prior experience — only an interest in discovering how sensory elements and tools can be used to meaningfully engage young audiences or young people in the arts and in their lives.

Presented by Sydney Opera House
