Brickworks Drama July Holiday Workshops: Theatre Around the World

Monday 13th to Friday 17th July 2026

In week two of the July School Holidays, Brickworks Drama is back to run five days of fun, friendly drama workshops! This July, we are crossing borders and oceans with Theatre Around the World, exploring the unique performance styles and storytelling traditions of France, West Africa, Aotearoa New Zealand, and beyond.

We're offering workshops for 6–15-year-olds (in age-appropriate groups). Our students gain confidence, enhancing their communication and teamwork skills through fun games and exercises taught by the experienced Brickworks drama tutors.

Mon 13th July - Italy: Slapstick Comedy (Physical Theatre)

Get ready for fun and games with guest tutor, Julian Wilson, who’s here to teach us all about slapstick comedy! Drawing from Commedia Dell ‘Arte and the noisy batacchio (wooden clapper), there’ll be (fake!) comedy sketches full of drops, falls, and tumbles to keep us laughing all day!

Tue 14th July - USA: Broadway & The Modern Musical (Singing)

Warm up those vocal cords! Today, we’re exploring acting through song with Stage Stars. We’ll learn to keep our characters alive while we hit those high notes. From ensemble harmonies to storytelling choreography, our students will learn a high-energy group number from a famous Broadway show. You don’t need to be the world’s greatest singer. Just bring your jazz hands and have some musical fun with us!

Wed 15th July - Aotearoa New Zealand: The Magic of Margaret Mahy (Character Development)

What happens when a librarian meets a robber, or a lion pops up in a meadow? Taking inspiration from the whimsical worlds of Margaret Mahy, we’ll be building our own weirdly wonderful characters. It’s a day for big imaginations, swaggering pirates, and magical adventures hailing from our own little corner of the world - Aotearoa New Zealand.

Thu 16th July - England: 5-Minute Shakespeare (Classical Comedy)

To be, or not to be... that is the question! (But today our answer is definitely "to be"...) We’re shrinking the Bard's biggest hits down to just 5 minutes each. From the Scottish play’s witches to Midsummer mischief, we’ll prove that Shakespeare is anything but boring!

Fri 17th July - Latin America: The Great Soap Opera (Screen Performance)

Dramatic gasps, shocking revelations, and more cliffhangers than you can shake a script at! We’re diving into the high-stakes world of the Telenovela. We’ll film and edit our very own over-the-top drama scenes, complete with scheming villains and long-lost twins. Don't miss the big premiere!

Every day finishes with a 3:00 p.m. showcase by the kids for their friends and family.

BRICKWORKS DRAMA SCHOOL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Guidelines for Drama Class Please arrive to class 5 min early. Please send your child to drama in comfortable clothes that are easy to move in. Please bring a water bottle. Please remind younger children to visit the toilet before class.

Open Classes and Showings Parents are welcome to watch the first class, but after that please drop off your children and collect them at the end of class. This helps us create a focussed environment where the children don't feel the pressure of an audience. We will run Open Classes once a term that you are welcome to attend and observe. Photos and videos are only allowed to be taken on Open Class days. We will work towards a public showing of the students' work in Term 3.

Bring a Friend Week Week 3 of each term is "Bring a Friend" week. Students are invited to bring a friend (of appropriate class age) to try a Brickworks drama class for free! This policy does not apply in Term 3.

Missed Classes Please let us know if your child will be absent (no refunds or make-up sessions for missed classes).

Pick-Ups Please let us know who (besides the parent/caregiver) is authorised to pick up your child. If someone else is picking them up, or they are making their way home independently, please let us know.

Behavioural Guidelines Brickworks students are expected to:

Respect and listen to tutors and their classmates
Participate in class according to the tutor's instruction
Refrain from uninvited and unwelcome physical contact with classmates and tutors
Verbally communicate with classmates and tutors in a respectful manner

If the tutor, a classmate or a parent has concerns with the behaviour of a student (their child or someone else's) Lauren or Natascha will

make a time to speak in person with the student's parent or caregiver to try to resolve the matter. If the behaviour continues the parent or caregiver will be notified in an email, and the student given another chance (if deemed appropriate). If the behaviour continues subsequent to this step, the student will be removed from the class to either: a) take a break from drama for the rest of the term, returning the next term if deemed appropriate; or b) moved to a different class if deemed appropriate.

Payment Please make payment for the term ($110) by the end of Week 2. Payment details: Brickworks Drama School 03-1505-0013696-000 *Remember to add your childs name as a reference The credit card option is not yet available. Well add this preference via Enrolmysoon.

Free trial class

If our child is interested in drama, but unsure, you are welcome to try one class for free. The second time your child attends, you will need to enrol and pay the term's fees. We do not offer refunds if you discontinue classes partway through the term or go away on holiday, missing classes.

Re-enrolment process Please make sure that you pre-enrol for each term. There is no automatic re-enrolment for our regular students

Guidelines for the Holiday Workshops

Timetable for the Workshops

Each workshop is a self-contained day with a central theme. Our aim is to provide an exciting day where children will enhance their confidence, communication skills and teamwork through games and exercises taught by an experienced tutor and tutor's assistant. Each day will be divided as follows:

9:00 10:30am "Get-to-know-each-other" and warm-up activities that introduce the theme of the day. Introductions and explanation of the Holiday Workshop rules.

10:30 10:45am Morning tea

10:45 12:20pm First round of games and exercises around the day's theme. Exploration of ideas to develop for the end-of-day showing.

12:20 1:00pm Lunch and free time.

1:00 2:30pm Second round of games and exercises. Short craft activity related to the day's theme. Rehearsal for end-of-day showing.

2:30 3:00pm Showcase for parents and caregivers Notes for parents and caregivers Please send your child with a packed morning tea, lunch and a water bottle. Brickworks does not provide meals and snacks. Please send your child along in comfortable clothes that are easy to move in. Please send them with a hat and apply sunblock in the warmer seasons. Parents and caregivers are welcome to watch the 30 minute showcase at 2.30pm. This is not compulsory but you are welcome to come along and enjoy the childrens work. Parents are not expected to stay during the day. This helps us create a focussed environment where the children will interact with their peers more freely. Photos and videos are allowed to be taken during the 2.30pm showcase.

Tutors and assistants Brickworks drama tutors, Lauren, Marlon and Natascha will run the workshops each day. Well have one tutor and one assistant per group (if there are more than 10 students per group). The assistants are senior secondary and tertiary students with drama training, who will assist us with drama activities, craft activities and supervision during the breaks.

Medical Conditions Policies and Procedures

Illness and Emergencies Please make sure you have given us details of an emergency contact person. If your child becomes ill during class, we will call their parent / caregiver to pick them up. If they cannot be reached, we will call the emergency contact. If neither contact can be reached, a Brickworks staff member will take the necessary actions for the well-being of your child. In the event of an emergency, 111 will be called.

Special Needs Please make sure you have notified us of any medical conditions, allergies or special needs your child has. Brickworks Drama School is inclusive. Open communication with families helps us create a positive environment for every student.

Other If you have any questions or would like more information, please feel free to email us or chat to the tutor at the end of class. Our website will be updated with Term Dates for the

year and other links and information, as it becomes available.
