Story Builders- Workshops for young people!
Building stories through improv we value space for young people to think creatively, develop communication skills, to build stories and characters paving the way to a performance.
Neighbours star, Lucinda Cowden, and improvisor Emily Watson, form a dynamic duo that through their knowledge and experience will foster a fun and engaging learning environment for the children!

“My son (12) has participated in all sorts of acting workshops and local community theatre things, but Story Builders was the first time he’d had the chance to be part of an improv workshop for his age group. In short: he loved it. Each day he came home upbeat and excited, not wanting to tell me all the details of what the group was working on, but looking forward to performing the end result on the final workshop day. Emily and Lucinda are excellent teachers and share with students the benefits from their significant combined experience in the acting/improv world. I’d recommend this workshop to kids already confident in acting and performing, as well as those who might need a bit of encouragement to come out of the shell.”
