Australian Exclusive

Infusing Salty Brine’s signature blend of wit, heart, and theatrical audacity, this workshop channels the high-camp, high-heart style that has made his Living Record Collection a hit from New York to London.

You’ll learn how to treat a record of your choice as a “structural blueprint” for theatrical invention. Together, you’ll unpack themes, emotional arcs and cultural resonance, then layer in personal narrative, archival gems and an audacious stage persona.

Along the way, Salty will share how to time reveals, build audience rapport, and twist the familiar into the fabulously unexpected, leaving you with tools to craft music-driven storytelling that dazzles.

Places are limited. Apply for this workshop via the button below.
