Contact Academy!


BRITTANY on CONTACT ACADEMY

Contact Academy was a 3 day skills training workshop for young multi-disciplinary artists to develop skills and strategies in their creative field, explore new art-forms and network with industry professionals!
One word to describe Contact Academy: INSPIRING!


Three of Inter Urban Arts’ very own mentors engaged in a series of intensive workshops ran by Contact Inc. For three whole days we immersed ourselves in the creative industries and what it has to offer.  Each workshop varied in focus, from singing and choir to hip hop dancing right through to theatre and circus, it was evident that every workshop had something unique to offer. Throughout the course of the three days, we were privileged to hear from some industry professionals, educating us in the areas of acting, sustainability, cinematic theatre and the inside scope on “making it” as such in the industry. We were able to make many valuable contacts for the future. After the conclusion of the three days we were filled with inspiration and a burning motivation to really get into the community and make a difference. Overall it was a sensational experience.
