WORKSHOPS

STILTSHOW by Dragon Knights offers hands-on workshops combining physical training, stilt technique, and theatre practice.
All workshops are led by experienced performers and integrate theatre training as a fundamental part of each program.

Whether discovering stilts for the first time or developing advanced skills, participants are guided through both technical work and performance awareness.
