Theatre Workshops

Bringing emotions to life by creating a direct connection with the audience

The theatre workshops from the Adaptive Arts Program allow participants to explore theatrical expression through acting techniques and performance, or to bring a text to life through movement.

2025-2026 workshops

Choose from two theatre exploration and creation workshops.
  • Theatrical expression

    For youth and adults

    Workshops that explore the physical side of theatre, inspired by visual and sound elements. Participants will be invited to build a space to connect with others, express themselves, be creative and grow through theatre.

  • Words and movement

    For adults

    Activities that introduce participants to the art of creative storytelling. Throughout the workshops, they’ll explore a range of inspiring sources—like paintings and music—and will bring their stories to life by blending different art forms.

Workshop schedules

The public performances will take place at Espace culturel Georges-Émile-Lapalme at Place des Arts.
