"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

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.
