Fourth Year of Third Act

We begin the fourth year of our Third Act programme delivering social drama classes to five Retirement villages in the Wellington region. We don’t mean to brag, but there are more than a few who say this class is the highlight of their week. It is definitely a highlight of ours! It’s a privilege playing and creating with our Third Act members.

Creative in Schools

We have been awarded a Creative in Schools grant to work this year at Wellington East Girls College developing an inter-generational devised theatre project looking at cultural identity. Working with year 12 and 13 students, along side former students now in their 70’s and 80’s we will be exploring what’s changed over 6 decades when it comes to expressions of cultural identity.

Sisterhood

Entering it’s third year our multi-cultural mothers support group continues to thrive. Supportive, creative, joyful.

The DCC

Forging a shared identity, this wonderful group has named themselves The DCC, (the dramatic, chaotic club.)

Screen Play

A project to support older people to connect, create, play and develop from the comfort and safety of their own home.

Multi-ethnic Mothers

The joys, the challenges of raising kiwi kids when you grew up somewhere very different. This creative mothers group brings play, laughter, story-telling and story making to the complex job of parenting.

Age on Stage

They have spent 12 months discovering the joy of playing together and now they are preparing to perform for you. Two of our Third Act classes are bringing their stories to the stage at the NZ Fringe Festival in March 2020. https://www.fringe.co.nz/show/43591
