Get in touch with your inner creativity and collaborate with group! Participants in the Curtain Up program will learn how to write their own songs (even without any previous music experience!) and explore a given theme using elements of devised theatre to collectively create an original piece, with Soulpepper Artist Instructors Lena Maripuu and James Smith.
Note: We anticipate being able to hold in-person sessions for the Curtain Up Fall Program, however, we will follow Public Health guidelines and offer these sessions virtually if required. Proof of full vaccination against COVID-19 is a prerequisite for participation in any in-person programming at Soulpepper.
