Off The Floor – A Creative Intensive

Play. Move. Create.

Looking to move, make, and explore something new these holidays? Off The Floor is a 5-day creative intensive for local high school students (14–18 year olds), designed to get you thinking with your body and creating from the ground up. We’ll dive into games, dance, and devised theatre to twist, break, and rebuild stories from the ground up. No experience needed—just curiosity and the courage to play.

The week ends with a fun, low-pressure showing of the original works we’ve crafted together—straight off the floor and onto the stage.

22nd – 26th September
10am – 3pm

These workshops will culminate into a show Friday 26th September 6pm, for all friends, family and public to watch.

Funded by Wayfinders and supported by Te Oro.
