About

How “Encore” came about…

Providing Specialist Performing Arts opportunities (Drama, Musical Theatre & Yoga) for local youth & adults on the Mid North Coast. Weekly group classes are aimed at growing self-esteem and other skills in a fun, connected and supportive environment.

WE ARE A CREATIVE KIDS PROVIDER!

Encore is a Performing Arts Academy which is an ideal space for students to build a solid foundation of much needed 21st Century skills such as communication, creativity, collaboration and critical thinking.

Our aim is to provide Performing Arts classes to grow kids’ self-esteem and performance skills such as articulation, musicality, body language, characterisation, active listening, spontaneous reactions, teamwork, responding to music & narrative, playbuilding, and script interpretation. The teachings of drama and music can help students improve confidence, resilience, creativity, speech and ability to talk in front of peers -
all valuable skills that students will be able to use for the rest of their day-to-day lives.
