TRAINING EXPERIENCE
Once participants have been accepted into the amateur mass ensemble, they will be invited to take part in a multi-session Performance Excellence Boot Camp which is a dedicated training program run by skilled theatre practitioners designed to equip participants with the skills they will need to perform in a large scale musical, but also with confidence and knowledge that they can take with them on their creative journey.
Boot Camp will be held during the day on Saturday 28th & Sunday 29th March 2020
Venue: TBC
The cost to participate in the Boot Camp is $298 per person.
For this fee, participants will receive:
-
the boot camp training
-
a free copy of the Boot Camp Handbook

Participants will participate in multiple sessions over these dates.
Participants may not be required for all dates listed.
The Boot Camp fee is not a payment to participate in the rehearsals or performances of WE WILL ROCK YOU - THE ARENA EXPERIENCE. No fee is charged to participate in the performance opportunity.
