I can’t wait to get started on this drama project. If you know any 12-16 year olds who would love a chance to perform, this term is free thanks to a community grant from Nillumbik Shire Council. There are four spots left.

Zana Fraillon is an internationally acclaimed, multi-award-winning author of books for children and young adults. Her work has been published in over 15 countries and is in development for both stage and screen.

Do you know a young person aged 9-16 who would like to perform?

I'm the lucky recipient of a Nillumbik Community Fund Grant and will be running drama improv workshops in Term 4 of 2026 and adapting picture books for the stage in Term 1 of 2027.

This will be taking place in Hurstbridge with the support of Nillumbik Shire Council and Allwood Neighbourhood House Inc. These FREE classes will take place at Allwood House on Tuesday afternoons in Term 4.

Please share the page No Big Dramas with any Nillumbik locals who you think may be interested. I'm currently seeking expressions of interest, so as to determine how to run the classes (based on the ages of interested participants). You can register your child's interest here:

I'm excited to start this project and to have Sue Arnold (AKA Miss Wattle) and Annie Rossini running a workshop for the lucky participants too!

I'm so excited to be starting this project and thankful to be selected as a recipient of the Nillumbik Community Fund Grant from Nillumbik Shire Council

If you know of a young person between the ages of 9 & 16 who would like to be involved in a theatre program with a guaranteed public performance opportunity. Please register your interest at: https://forms.gle/A3CseMpmia7keBEe8

At this point I am just collecting the ages of interested participants, as this will determine how I separate the classes. Once a booking link is ready I will then email it to those who expressed interest.

This program shall revolve around adapting picture books for the stage. Two books shall be performed in April 2027, to families with young children. Together we will collaborate to make a show that is fun, vibrant, silly, and built around your talents. We can incorporate singing, dancing and music, depending on the talents participants bring and the experiences they seek.

There will be a focus on theatrical improvisation and term four includes THREE FREE WORKSHOPS with local professional performers. These will include Sue Arnold (The Wattle Festivals very own Miss Wattle) who will be running a workshop on comic timing and stage presence, and Annie Rossini who will cover breathing, vocal projection and basic singing tips.

This project is being created by NIllumbik local, Rebecca who runs the storytime and dance sessions at Allwood Neighbourhood House Inc and who works as a photographer and aspiring author as Rebecca Landy Creates.

I’ve run No Lights No Lycra Hurstbridge (dancing in the dark) for seven years now. But last year I started a companion event for locals who love to dance! Hursty Dance Club takes place a few times each year and is the party you get to go to, if you don’t have any parties to go to! It’s the nightclub without the sleaze (or the late hours). It’s completely fun, it’s completely about dancing, it’s community at its best. It’s a night out and I night off whatever occupies your brain 24/7.

And you’re all invited! Interested? Read on…

Hursty Dance Club returns to Hurstbridge Bowling Club, for the last event of the year, on Saturday 22nd August!

This is my little project running this weekend!

If you miss dancing, or want to give it a go for the first time, there’s so many styles and events to try, from Pilates, ballet, Charleston and dancing in the dark with (me) All running from Hurstbridge Hall.

I can’t wait to dress up (sneakers a must though) and have a dance with my friends on the Saturday night, it was a huge hit last year! Let’s do it again!

Let your little ones have a go at ballet or jazz too, or come along to the family disco on Sunday for a boogie and dance games!

There is a pay what you can option too, no shame to use it! And no excuse not to have fun!

Tickets available here: https://events.humanitix.com/hurstbridge-and-surrounds-dance-and-movement-festival

Or pay at the door.
