For Secondary School Educators
NOW RUNNING IN MELBOURNE AND BRISBANE!
" I revelled, once again, in being a maker of Theatre and tapping into the actor-me that doesn't get a look-in in the classroom. Just as importantly, through this highly practical experience, I gained the body-knowledge and conceptual understanding of the practitioner to feed into my classwork. If this sounds confronting to you - don't be put off - Lynne and her team skilfully and carefully led us through this week of structured fun with professionalism and insight."
-Michael Gallaway, Santa Sabina College (Sydney)
" The course for me was challenging, personally and professionally, and has renewed my confidence not only to teach Drama but to approach life with energy and passion! ‘Enter the problem' is now my answer to ‘What gives you courage?'. Fear and possibility have become the same thing."
- Michelle Carey, Brisbane Boys' College
