ARTS + CULTURE
IGNITING CREATIVITY THROUGH DRAMA CLASSES Despite the challenges that Covid-19 continued to present in term 1, Tim Bray Theatre Company’s Youth Theatre classes have continued with fun and creativity for their students. These classes continue to engage the students’ creativity, selfconfidence and self-expression through drama techniques.
The brand new Extraordinarily Creative drama classes at Te Oro in Glen Innes for autistic and neurodivergent children and teens have been working their “magic” (according to a dad!) with the new students. Extraordinarily Creative continues to be popular on the North Shore at Meadowood Community House. Spaces are available in Term 2 at both venues.
