workshops

We deliver practice-based workshops for high school students across Stages 4, 5, and 6, which link to the NSW Drama syllabus. Our up-on-the-floor approach complements classroom learning by strengthening students’ practical engagement with the subject.

We are Sydney based but we also travel interstate and regionally.

Our teaching practice is grounded in inclusive and student-centred frameworks, creating safe, supportive environments where all students can participate at their own level. Sessions emphasise confidence-building, engagement, and enjoyment, while reinforcing curriculum-aligned skills that can be applied directly to assessment tasks and performance work.

When Ali and Rose from Hurrah Hurrah came to work with our Stage 2 Drama students, they completely transformed the way the students approached their Year 12 production of Churchill's Love and Information. They spent a full week with the class running workshops, and the depth of preparation and care they brought into that space was extraordinary.

BESPOKE

We can also work with you to design a workshop specifically for your students. Get in touch to discuss your particular needs.

Most of our workshops are inserted into the school timetable, usually across a double period of drama. However, we can also do full day and half day incursions (often during the holidays) or week long residencies.

“Hurrah Hurrah workshops are relevant and inspiring for the students and teachers. HH does an excellent job of blending their depth of creative practice with the real world needs of school drama. It was a pleasure to have them."

Joanna Golotta-Maxwell, Head of Drama, PLC Sydney

"Alison's Hurrah Hurrah delivered exceptional Viewpoints workshops for our students. Her engaging and informative approach ensured every student was completely immersed, fostering a profound understanding of the Viewpoints process. Alison’s ability to connect with each participant, combined with her lived experience of Viewpoints and Jacques Lecoq, made her the perfect choice to unpack this topic. A truly enriching experience!"

Paul Eastway, Head of Drama, Newington College

“My students did a devising workshop with Hurrah Hurrah and loved it. The workshop was dynamic and fun and was immediately useful to their work. The students did exceptionally well in the HSC as a result of the energy and ideas generated in the workshop.”

Lisa Shipley, Drama Teacher, St Clare's College, Waverley

“We feel incredibly lucky that our students had the chance to work with them. Ali and Rose bring generosity, intelligence, humour and deep artistic integrity into the room, and the impact on our students was profound.”
