The Acceptance workshops were successful. I had 12 students signed up everyone enjoyed themselfs making up scenes with other actors for the end of term performance
Each student got to contribute to the theatre program what they like to learn each week, their achievements were also documented in the Acceptance Workshops. They even made new friends at Australian Theatre For Young People
