Guided by Class of Cabaret 2025 Mentors, Mark Oates and Millicent Sarre, alongside Musical Director Ciara Ferguson, Come and Try Cabaret Day offers students a fun introduction to the Class of Cabaret program.
This engaging and interactive day focuses on introducing cabaret skills and developing creative practice. Participants will deepen their understanding of their own artistic practices and connect with likeminded peers, whilst gaining insights that could support future auditions and application for Class of Cabaret. Students who love to sing are welcome and those that also have a passion for other creative areas like writing, dance, spoken word, or comedy are highly encouraged to attend.
Come and Try Cabaret Day takes place on a weekend so that students can attend without the need for a teacher chaperone. Teachers and parents that would like to find out more about the program are welcome to contact centrED@adelaidefestivalcentre.com.au with queries.
