Testimonials

  • “Arminelle has a teaching style that includes warmth and high expectations with years of experience and knowledge to draw on, enabling her students to flourish and develop a deep abiding love for theatre. Our kids loved their time with AWA. I cannot recommend AWA enough for your kids, regardless of their acting experience or ambitions. Arminelle makes everyone feel welcome, and is able to get the best out of everyone in a safe inclusive learning environment."

    John Goodson

  • “AwA is probably the best extra-curricular activity my eldest child participates in. Her teaching style, approachability, and ability to actively engage the students creates an enjoyable environment for kids interested in the performing arts. The skills learned in AwA extend past ‘drama’, building core communication skills, self expression, resilience and self esteem. Arminelle is adept at creating activities and frameworks that makes learning and performing accessible for students of all ages, experiences, and abilities. Highly recommended without hesitation."

    Liam Rigg

  • “AwA has provided an opportunity for my daughter to pursue her passion in a professional, friendly and fun environment. Arminelle has a talent of subtly exploring deeper themes in her work with young people, to include topics such as mental health and wellbeing. The workshops provide face to face social connection for young people in a safe environment. This is to be highly valued in an age where children frequently find it difficult to connect with others outside of social media. Arminelle should be congratulated for creating such an inclusive environment. We are so lucky to have AwA here in Townsville."

Arminelle’s resume in the Arts Industry is exceptional and to have her teaching our young people of Townsville and surrounds is truly a gift. Her ability to make real connections and form trusting relationships with her students in order for them to take risks in a safe environment is a skill that makes Arminelle a great Teacher.
