Well, today we officially say goodbye to 5 Marathon Street ๐ข
We have made the most incredible memories here and welcomed hundreds of students through our doors.
Iโd always dreamt of creating a place where every child (or adult) could walk in, breath a sigh of relief and simply be their โPerfectly Imperfectโ selves through the performing arts ๐ญ
I feel we did that and some! ๐
Our Drama, Musical Theatre, Vocal, Guitar, Piano lessons were filled with easy to understand technique relevant to their chosen genre, self esteem building exercises/games and most importantly, LOADS of practical experience!
All of the above is also paramount to becoming a fabulous performer! Belief of self and an incredible support network to catch you when youโve slipped up or forgotten a line on stage is SOOO important.
Leaving this particular building doesnโt take away what an amazing team/community we have built. We keep the memories and the fact that all of the kids act like siblings and are generally unafraid of being their crazy, amazing, beautiful, imperfect selves in front of each other (and me ๐ฌ) is a testament to that!
I look forward to making more memories with you all and our amazing community!
The future is CRAZY EXCITING and I am proud to say that when I recover from my hip replacement (happening TOMORROW!!), I will be working alongside the performing arts team of educators at Mid Coast Christian College along with continuing to teach my current after school students in their incredible music and theatre facilities!
Wednesdays will also be dedicated to working with the awesome music department at MVAC teaching private vocal lessons ๐ฅณ ๐
โญ๏ธ I would like to thank everybody who supported myself and all of our young performers and believed in my crazy ideas and dreams. (And asking for flying magic carpets, 120 different costumes, hundreds of props, 5 part harmonies etc)
Thank you for being there when it all seemed too hard, another natural disaster hit or another lockdown filled with Zoom calls and crazy amounts of behind the scenes admin!
Youโre love, positivity, late night phone calls, encouraging messages mean the absolute world. โญ๏ธ
Now time to get my new hip, start the recovery process and have some quality time with my family โ๐ฝ
Lots of love and see you soon!! ๐ถ ๐ญ
