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.
