    Survival techniques on stage!

    Workshop 1, given by Anders: Acting might sometimes feel like juggling with both a tennis ball and a champagne glass. It can be done, however, if only you remember to make eye-contact and trust each other. (And if you know where to find a broom in case you drop the glass.)

    SPLAT!

    Workshop 2, given by Mat: Being an actor means to pay attention and react quickly, in fact as quickly as a duellist who attempts to shoot someone. Splat is a goofy game for kids, but it's fun and it keeps you on your toes.

    Workshop 3, given by Annabelle and Mathew.

    Tap, tap, double tap...

    Hands on the floor...

    ... and be ready to tap when it's your turn.

    Who's in? Who's out? A difficult job for Mathew to act as a referee. 

    A speed game that needs concentration and coordination.
