So proud of what this term has become for both Junior and Youth Theatre ensembles 🤍

In just one term, these young performers created and shared a fully realised performance inspired by material from a range of musicals. Both groups performed for their loved ones in the final session, and it was clear both groups were full of trust, joy, and connection with one another and with the stories they were telling.

☂At Encore, there is no pressure to perform, only an open invitation to be brave, curious, and expressive. I feel so proud witnessing students be take ownership of their collaboration & creative process, and being willing to add their own vulnerabilities & individual expression to a story. To then share this preciousness with the added element of an audience is just a cherry on top.

🌈Every session is shaped around the students in the room their interests, needs, and ideas - supporting them to find their voice and expression on stage and beyond. And oh, how we all feel the benefits! ✨

See a moment that made you smile? Share it with someone who’s been part of the journey 🤍

Big love,
Hannah

💭 Performance Lab reflections

Thank you, Arlo, for sharing this slice of insight. Arlo is a committed actor who will be performing a first (of many to come!) with an audience at Youth Week. Listen to his insight to hear what that first may be 🤔

Performance Lab is a supportive step up for committed performers who are ready to refine their performance skills in a focused, encouraging environment.

Each masterclass, students present their solo/duo monologue or musical material and receive individualised side coaching, and guided peer feedback. Plus each week, they receive written feedback via email. This format helps students build confidence in their rehearsal space, resilience in the creative process, and performance readiness while learning how to perform in front of others calmly and professionally.

Performance Lab ~ Mondays 6.30pm ($20 drop-in for currently enrolled students of any course)

Feeling very proud of how far we’ve come, and the positive impact drama & music has on young people’s lives in a regional community ✨

Encore began with 1 class of 6 kids & now we have 6 group classes plus private tuition 🎭 🥲

🥸 Our Youth Actor, Asha, at ABC auditioning for Hard Quiz Kids on Saturday!

“My daughter was adamant she wouldn’t be on stage, hated the idea of performing, but once she was in classes, with her peers, it’s totally different and she wants to be part of it.”

🗣️The most meaningful part of Encore experience?

“Seeing her come out of her shell has been amazing.... performances let us appreciate the effort she has put in.”

We wished her all the best last week, and look forward to hearing about the experience today 🎉

Phenomenal performance by Violette on Sunrise7 🌅 yesterday morning.
🎥 Lots of preparation behind the scenes: back and forth communication with the producer, warming up with her singing mentor ☝️, on the spot chopping and changing to parts of the song that went with “the vibe” 🤣 and belting out to sea 🎵 Very impressive 👏🏻

“It’s been an honour to be a part of the process & I look forward to sharing what we’ve created. Contact improvisation is a new method for me to explore, nevertheless it’s been refreshing and inspiring to say the least, especially in collaboration with so many fellow artists.”

Student Spotlight 🎉

For those who remember Finn lighting up the stage as Bobby Strong in our mini musical, you will not be surprised to hear this next piece of news… Finn recently undertook an audition opportunity (his first time!) after preparing in private vocal sessions - and walked away with a role as a chorus member in Oliver! with the Coffs Harbour Musical Comedy Company. What a brilliant first leap into the wider theatre world!

Finn has always had strong character commitment with a slightly cheeky spark that makes him so watchable, and we have a feeling he’ll be asking for “more!” in all the best ways. Keep sharing your spark, and sweet vocal tone, Finn. While we miss you, we know you’ll be having a ball. Truly - what a show for you, congratulations.

LOVING this new opportunity 💎

Why? Because it differs from previous competitions and now aligns with our values:

Sing It Out Loud is a vocal competition designed to celebrate singers of all ages and levels in a supportive, professionally run environment.

Our focus is on confidence, growth, constructive feedback, and creating a positive performance experience for every performer who steps on stage.

I’d be delighted to help vocal students prepare 🎵
