Learn GeriActors’ playful theatre & storytelling approach
in our Facilitator Training program.
Design and deliver workshops that inspire playfulness, foster community, stimulate storytelling, and develop plays that can be shared with others. Perfect for actors, educators, healthcare providers, and recreation professionals with an interest in community-based theatre.
At the end of the program, participants will have the opportunity to facilitate their own workshop, for which they will be paid, and put into practice what they have learned.
Training will have a particular reference to seniors, but our approach can be adapted for work with any community.
Training Dates: June 1, 8, 15, 16 from 12:00PM to 4:30PM
Program Fee: $155 per person
