intensive holiday program - matilda cabaret 2026
Our Intensive Program was an unforgettable experience that saw our students dive head-first into focused training, creativity, and collaboration, all working towards one exciting goal — taking their work to the theatre. Over a short but powerful period, students strengthened their vocal technique, performance skills, confidence, and teamwork through immersive rehearsals and hands-on learning. Watching this program come to life on stage was incredibly rewarding, and we couldn’t be prouder of the dedication, growth, and courage shown by every performer. Beyond the skills gained, the Intensive was filled with laughter, friendships, and unforgettable memories — not just for the students, but for the teachers too. It was challenging, inspiring, and so much fun, reminding us exactly why we love what we do.
