These professional development workshops are suitable for Kaiako and theatre practitioners of all levels.

They are designed to give you practical tools for use in the classroom, workshop and rehearsal space. The workshops are designed so participants learn through doing and experiencing the work. They focus on devising processes that can be used to make vibrant, bold, relevant theatre pieces with students.

The workshop content is fresh each year, and there is always more build on, so even if you’ve already attended one of these workshops in the past, you will come away with something new.

"A Massive Company workshop will reignite your own creative ‘fighting spirit,’ so that you can encourage the rangatahi in your classes to do the same"
– Past workshop participant
