Lynn says,

" It's a joy to experience upper primary school children chanting stories and teaming up to construct plays; to see secondary third and fourth year pupils taking time ships back to biblical times; to watch young actors improvising original movement to Edgar Allan Poe's "Decent Into The Maelstrom". The beauty of acting and improvisation is that in the process of creating scenes players do so in the spirit of teamwork. The process empowers children and young people to free their bodies and imagination and to gain confidence while helping one another".
