Be a Star on Sundays
Get creative
Our Weekend Workshops are the perfect way to let your hair down before the start of another week.
For three hours on a Sunday, our expert workshop leaders will work with you in three different disciplines: acting, singing and dancing.
Meet new people
Our Weekend Workshops are for people who want to get singing, acting and dancing in a non-judgemental setting. Our workshop leaders enable everyone to feel comfortable. We welcome people with little or no prior experience in musical theatre.
We will start with two groups of up to 25 people: one for 13-18-year olds and one for 18+. Our small groups are a great chance to meet people in Brussels with similar interests.
Just for fun
We plan to make our Weekend Workshops a permanent fixture in Brussels.
Each term will run for 10 weeks. You will get expert tuition in acting, singing and dancing. We will not work towards a performance as such but we may end the term with a showcase for friends and family.
The Workshops will run 11am - 2pm on Sundays at Studio Empain, Rue de la Presse 9.
Cost: €270 for the term (we ask for a €100 deposit on registration).
