FRANK. Workshop Series
THE FRANK WORKSHOP SERIES
A program of practical, professionally-led daytime workshops and panels designed for artists, by artists during Adelaide Fringe 2026.
Hosted at The Courtyard of Curiosities, these sessions offer hands-on training, creative tools, and real-world insight into making independent work — spanning clowning, dramaturgy, movement, technical basics, and taking care of your body.
Workshops are suitable for emerging artists through to experienced practitioners, and are designed to build confidence, expand your performance toolkit, and connect artists across disciplines. Expect rigorous play, generous facilitation, and plenty of laughter.
All workshops will take place at the State Library of South Australia. There are limited spaces and workshops must be booked in advance.
