We deliver practice-based workshops for high school students across Stages 4, 5, and 6, which link to the NSW Drama syllabus. Our up-on-the-floor approach complements classroom learning by strengthening students’ practical engagement with the subject.
Our teaching practice is grounded in inclusive and student-centred frameworks, creating safe, supportive environments where all students can participate at their own level. Sessions emphasise confidence-building, engagement, and enjoyment, while reinforcing curriculum-aligned skills that can be applied directly to assessment tasks and performance work.

“Hurrah Hurrah workshops are relevant and inspiring for the students and teachers. HH does an excellent job of blending their depth of creative practice with the real world needs of school drama. It was a pleasure to have them."
Joanna Golotta-Maxwell, Head of Drama, PLC Sydney
"Alison's Hurrah Hurrah delivered exceptional Viewpoints workshops for our students. Her engaging and informative approach ensured every student was completely immersed, fostering a profound understanding of the Viewpoints process. Alison’s ability to connect with each participant, combined with her lived experience of Viewpoints and Jacques Lecoq, made her the perfect choice to unpack this topic. A truly enriching experience!"
Paul Eastway, Head of Drama, Newington College
“The workshop was dynamic and fun and immediately useful to the student's work.”
