In this dynamic introduction to theatre, children are invited to discover their creativity and unleash their imaginations through games, free play, and storytelling. They will improve their literacy and numeracy, learn how to work together, listen and share, create characters, build exciting new worlds, and enhance their storytelling abilities. As the skills of the ensemble improve, we will devise a short play that will be presented to parents at the end of the year. Lots of fun for the absolute beginner!

As their awareness of the world grows, so too will your child’s awareness of the performance and theatre making processes. Children will be given the freedom to explore who they are and their place in the world, while having fun and learning how to create brand new works of theatre. Improvisation and theatre making tasks will run alongside games as children expand their knowledge of theatrical craft and process. We will encourage creative expression by building characters, experimenting with physicality, writing scenes and rehearsing for performances. Your child will build confidence, collaborative skills and learn how to take risks in a safe, supportive and fun environment.

Wednesday 16 August – 20 December (no class 18 October)
Guided by award-winning theatre maker and applied theatre practitioner, Claire Glenn, young, emerging artists will be given the space to create the work that they want to create, by responding to provocations to ignite the devising process.
​
The Performance Ensemble will take risks, gain insight into theatre development process, refine their performance skills as individuals and a group, and experience working together as a theatre company. Throughout the year, the ensemble will experiment with improvisation, scene work, devising, character development, writing, movement, vocal work, monologues and more! They will investigate world issues and current events, tell stories, analyse scripts, and, perhaps most importantly, make, rehearse and perform their very own, original show.
Conundrum’s Performance Ensemble promises to provide fun and challenging theatrical experiences that will produce dynamic, confident and courageous theatre makers and performers. ​
​
The Performance Ensemble is currently working on a production of Motor-mouth & Suck-face: An Apocalyptic Love Story by Anthony Crawley which will be performed 15 - 17 December 2023.
​
“Shut up and listen. In exactly one minute and fifty-three seconds the world is going to end. But that’s not important right now. What’s important is how this all began, because if you can understand that. If, by some miracle, the window in your frontal lobe opens and clarity wedges its sweet toe through the dark door of apathy, then maybe, just maybe, there’s hope for us all in this knee deep, bullshit-ridden, sludge-pile of an existentialist state we so loosely refer to as life. My name is Blasko Tupper. Prepare to die.”
– Blasko Tupper

*Additional rehearsals required for current show: Motor-mouth & Suck-face: An Apocalyptic Love Story – please see rehearsal schedule
Cost for Term One $1980 (18 weeks)​
