‘A big thank you! The kids loved it and it was the perfect launch into our production. The others teachers have also all passed on really positive feedback and enjoyed it too. So thank you so much. Particularly for how you adapted it to suit our needs too!’ Grade 5/6 Teacher. Leading Teacher.

Yesterday I had the honour of working with the entire grade 5/6 level leading up to their auditions for their school production of ‘The Jungle Book’.

It was wonderful as always to get an insight into another wonderful school community (this time in the leafy Greensborough) …a beautiful group of hard working and caring teachers, walls adorned with First Nations languages; and a group of excited and enthusiastic young people.

We worked on Dr Seuss’ philosophy (which greatly underpins all my work as an Acting Coach) which is that ‘there is no youier you than you!’ ie cultivating the individual artist; as well as characterisation (including body language, gesture, facial expression and voice); script detective work (so we know what the writer and director is asking us to do) annnnnd confidence.

Thank you Greenhills PS for having me and good luck with the show!
