MCT LEARN
Immerse your students in Milk Crate Theatre's inclusive approach to performance making!
At Milk Crate Theatre, we effect social change through the power of performance. We are a vibrant and accessible space where artists of all backgrounds come together to create provocative and transformational performance works. We believe our creative processes present valuable opportunities for students as they navigate some of society's most pressing issues and challenge perspectives that inspire positive change.
​
MCT Learn provides dynamic workshops, seminars and customised programs that support your students to deepen their performance craft and build confidence. Led by MCT's Teaching Artists, we are experienced makers who enliven MCT's approach to Community Arts and Cultural Development (CACD) and place the unique needs of your classroom at the centre of our experience together.
​
