ACTING COACHING
Every actor whether professional or starting up needs a little assistance with up-scaling their skills. This interactive programme, which can be offered on a one-to-one basis or in groups, enables Our participants to walk away feeling empowered with both practical and theoretical know-how in the field of acting for the stage and elements of television acting.
ARTIST MEETUPS/TALKS
To date We have partnered with The Great African Caravan (GAC) - https://www.thegreatafricancaravan.com/#about - and Arty Socials Zambia - https://web.facebook.com/artysocials/?ref=br_rs on the GAC's #Unborder Meetups initiative. We curate and host artist talks where artists, change-makers, social entrepreneurs and creative entrepreneurs to name a few, can come together, collaborate, discuss and gain inspiration and knowledge from each other on provocative topical issues. The meetups are a means of deprogramming and challenging learnt social interactions and notions in a safe space.
CREATIVE MOVEMENT AND SIMPLE MODERN DANCE
These classes create physical awareness and are great for people of all ages and for improving memory, motor skills and team work. Here We work with how You naturally move and make You aware of how Your body can move creatively through space. It's a fun and interactive programme.

DONE LIKE A GIRL
We are passionate about empowering the girl-child hence Our performances and programmes being female-centric. This programme hones in on the experience of teenage girls using theatre as a tool to give positive body awareness and self-image while tackling changing bodies, sexuality, gender and empowering girls to think beyond stereotypical traditional gender roles. Through this programme We have been able to deal with issues such as bullying, adoption, sibling conflict, divorce, adoption and girl-on-girl conflict.
