Fairytales and fantasy

This workshop provides an engaging exploration of on-set roles and performance as students turn themselves into far-out fairytale characters, and restore order to Fairytale land.

Students will:

- engage in dramatic play

- gain an understanding of green screen and how it's used

- learn about crew roles on a film set

- engage in a narrative they shape through characterisation

- explore ACMI's The Story of the Moving Image exhibition prior to lunchtime

Important information:

In this workshop, students start their day together, before breaking into two groups after recess. Please see 'duration' information in the sidebar for more information.

Links to pre-visit information and post-visit activities will be made available upon booking.
