Olivia Willcox is no stranger to SAAC, with a proven track record of successful collaborations on productions such as “Clue” and “Newsies”. Fight choreography extends far beyond mere combat.

This workshop is perfect for anyone thinking about auditions for The Play That Goes Wrong. “Most people think of choreography in the context of musicals; however, The Play That Goes Wrong contains as much choreography, if not more, than any musical,” shares Director Gary Hall. “The blocking must look spontaneous while being meticulously choreographed. We are incredibly fortunate to have Olivia leading us through this process. Her attention to detail and safe approach ensures that our scenes will look authentic while keeping performers safe.”
Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to learn from a professional in the field!
