Performing Arts Connections Australia can
deliver PowerPAC workshops with your
community.
Power PAC workshops address the desire
(and need) within communities to be more
connected, build practical skills and nurture
and create performance projects in regional
areas.
The workshop can be attended by as many
people as you like. The program is tailored to
the specific needs of your community and
they’ll also receive the practical PowerPAC
guide.
It’s about sharing resources and ideas and
coming together to discover how everyone’s
interests can be better served.
