On behalf of Rae Studios, we want to thank all who came out to support our Second Performance Workshop Showcase. Letโs throw up some ๐๐๐ for our 40 performers who dedicated time and energy over the previous few weeks to prepare for this show. Everyone's energy and support echoed in the club and we are so blessed to have a wonderful community like ours.
We had 6 instructors lead a workshop series with a batch of eager students that culminated in this show. The night was full of surprises as we got to share the stage with veteran and first-time performers. We also had some guest artists join our community to share in the evening of giving and art. Huge shout out to the team at Origin Nightclub for opening up their doors for our event. Thank you again to the amazing cast and crew.
