Transit’s workshops and courses are designed to share knowledge about skills and techniques with fellow artists and interested members of the public.  They are also a means of testing and developing ideas about the art of theatre and performance.  Out of this learning environment can come new methods and motivations for creating, or the inspiration for a new work.  The focus is on the enjoyment of exploration.
