What we do
At Rhubarb Jam Productions we love to create, love to perform and love to work with young people who love what we do EVEN MORE!
Our workshops are designed for participants to create a production from start to finish, under the guidance of experienced mentors in DANCING, SINGING and ACTING. We value the process of putting a themed performance together and ALL workshop participants will be involved in every aspect of the production – even sets and props!
We invite participants aged 5-12 years to join us to access their silly side, develop friendships while having fun learning new skills, harboring talent and creating an awesome show together.
WHAT'S AWESOME ABOUT THE PERFORMING ARTS?
The performing arts gives children important life skills that can help them navigate their way through life with confidence and purpose.
Not only can it give CONFIDENCE, it can help children exercise their CREATIVITY, develop EMPATHY, help them learn how to WORK AS A TEAM, COMMUNICATE WITH OTHERS and above all else FIND THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL VOICE.
