HOW TO GET YOUR CHILD TO TRY SOMETHING NEW

​
As adults, we know that some of life’s greatest experiences come from stepping outside of our comfort zone, trying new activities and learning new skills.  We also know it can be daunting to take that first step, but the benefits of doing so far outweigh the initial nervousness’....​​

"TYC in Cairns is life-­changing. My children have been connected with the TYC for 2 years now and we have also been lucky enough to experience their in-school drama programmes. TYC workshops break down barriers and help foster relationships.  My own personal experience with my 11 year old girl is that the TYC programmes has helped her develop more confidence and she is now a School Captain as a result. As with so many of their workshops that our children have attended. ​

TYC also encourage their older teenagers to get involved providing them with an opportunity to project manage and managing a recruitment business myself , this is a very good skill for people to have. They are a wonderful group of people and work hard to ensure a positive environment for all involved". Jenny Cunsamy ​

TYC ALUMNI > Kane O'Rielley
CONGRATULATIONS KANE!! We are so extremely super duper proud of our Associate Producer Kane O'Rielley who successfully auditioned for The American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Los Angeles. Kane headed over to LA in January to take up his studies and will follow in the footsteps of notable performers as Robert Redford, Danny DeVito, Anne Hathaway, Paul Rudd, Grace Kelly, Kirk Douglas, Lauren Bacall (just to name a few!)

"Kane O’Rielley has been attending TYC for the past eight years and has become an Associate Producer through their Creative Pathways Program. In 2015 Kane assisted in the direction and performed in 'High School Musical' at Trinity Anglican School, Cairns where he was the Arts Captain in 2017. In 2017 Kane also performed in TYC's Mainstage Production of 'Wishfly' which also toured into local schools in Cairns. Kane was also a NIDA Open graduate in 2015 and 2017 where he completed his ‘Acting 101’, tutored by Jo Turner, and 'The Young Actors Residency' lead by Garth Holcombe and Pip Edwards. Kane has performed and assisted in over 50 productions including TYC Mainstage productions of ‘Animal Farm’ By George Orwell and adapted by Shake and Stir, ‘Between Us’ by ATYP Young Voices Project (Cairns Festival 2016) and ‘Lord of the Flies’ by William Golding (Cairns Festival 2017)".

IN ORDER TO SUCCEED, WE MUST FIRST BELIEVE THAT WE CAN.

LADDER OF PROGRESSION
​@ THE YOUNG COMPANY

At TYC we believe that each child is a uniquely creative individual and are all on their own learning journeys. 

We all love to perform on stage and what better way to understand what we need in our performers tool-kit than a Ladder of Progression! Developed specifically for TYC and based off our company Value Statements and continued commitment to the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child, the program is extremely unique. Each step on the ladder ensures that each individual child learns and develops in numerous areas of theatre making in such a way that instils a positive mindset, a resilient attitude and consistent outlook on the forever changing world around them.
