Theatre Outreach Program (Portland House)

On Thursday the 12th of September 21 students across year 10, 11 & 12 interested in acting, participated in an afterschool workshop at Geelong High School with the Victorian College of the Arts.

The Theatre Outreach Program supported Portland House seeks to diversify the pool of who a performing artist can be. Through this program, students were introduced to a diverse group of recent VCA Graduates, all now working as artists who supported students with monologue preparation for auditions.

The program has already seen immense success across many other schools, and has provided ample opportunities to young theatre makers. Attendees of the program have had curated tutelage, and have as a result, been accepted into some of the finest graduate theatre programs across the country.

A big thank you to the VCA for this enriching program. We look forward to workshop #2 next term.
