Why Three Words Workshops?

Our activities create a bond between the actor and the pupils and, through a shared experience, strengthens social cohesion among the students. Theatre is an activity that teaches young people the value of teamwork and builds relationships. With Three Words, interaction is everything: the audience and the actors react and relate to each other. Let’s use theatre to engage with our imaginations and have fun! Each workshop is an exploration led by experienced actors and fuelled by the dynamics of the group: exploration is encouraged and everything becomes a reason to play and to improvise. We adapt our workshops so that they are suitable for all ages and learning levels.

Which workshop do I choose?

Any one of these workshops can be adjusted in time, number of students, and objective, if given proper notice.

Each workshop is adapted for the age level and learning development of the students. We ask that you keep the age range generally small for the class so there can be some unity and relatability within the workshop. For example, ages 6-10, 11-14, 15-18, etc. If you are unsure of which workshop to choose for your students, I highly recommend the General Theatre Workshop for all students! The other more specified workshops are great for students already in the arts or if you are trying to grow your students in a specific skill!

At least one teacher is required to be in the room for the duration of the workshop.

    Your students will participate in theater games with the end goal of putting on their own mini shows. The exercises build naturally toward the meat of the workshop, challenging students to use their imaginations to tell stories. This workshop is great for any student whether they are in the arts or not. Every workshop is adjusted to the age and dynamic of the group.

    As a Second City Comedy Studies Alum, I am very pleased to offer an improv workshop! Your students will participate in movement and improv games with the end goal of performing a long form improv presentation. These exercises are slightly more challenging than the theatre workshop because improv games naturally require more boldness. This workshop will challenge your students to not fear embarrassment or making mistakes in a safe space. Every workshop is adjusted to the age and dynamic of the group.

    Designed for students interested in pursuing musical theatre beyond high school, this workshop would require students to be prepared with their own materials to receive coaching for future auditions. Ideally the college audition standard of two contrasting pieces in tempo, style, and era. Additional fee for accompaniment. More students are welcome to attend this workshop, but should not be expected to participate due to the strict time frame.

    Designed for theatre students to explore more depth in musical theatre scenes, upon booking I will provide musical theatre scenes that include songs the students are expected to learn prior to the workshop in order to have a productive experience. This is not a voice lesson. This is to deepen story telling by seamlessly connecting song and scene. More students are welcome to attend this workshop, but should not be expected to participate due to the strict time frame.

  • 1 h 40 min

    Designed for students desiring to grow as directors and actors, this workshop will introduce students to the basics of directing and quickly challenge them to think outside the box when directing their peers. Each student will leave the workshop having directed their own scene. It is recommended to have students interested in just being actors for their peers to direct, but can be adapted for all students interested in directing.
