Class Act - Theatre In Education

Class Act Theatre in Education will be closing at the end of Term 4. Established in 1994, we are provided paid work for hundreds of actors, directors, composers and other theatre creatives. We have visited thousands of schools and performed to well over a million students. Thank you to everyone who has been part of the Class Act family over nearly 3 decades. We had a good innings.

“q***r not as being about who you’re having s*x with (that can be a dimension of it); but q***r as being about the self that is at odds with everything around it and has to invent and create and find a place to speak and to thrive and to live.” -bell hooks

A great and important cause. Please read and sign the petition. Particularly if you or anyone you know experience mental health issues that have been exasperated by this pandemic ❤️

Our producers Hannah Friebel and David Barnes recently sent a letter to the editor of The Age, advocating for a fourth triple zero line that people can call in a mental health emergency.

.g.friebel works in mental health advocacy and is passionate about peer support. She gave an informative talk on instagram via a livestream for RU OK Day on all things mental health. See her post below...

So we 'celebrated' R U OK Day here in Melbourne yesterday, huddled in our homes, sending virtual hugs along the line to one another. And to commemorate this, last night I shared a bit about my mental health lived experience and emerging career in psychology, live to Instagram. I thought it might be a resource to some of my friends here. See below to watch my R U OK Day Mental Health talk for 2020, and refer to the comments below for a compilation of resources that I assure you, will be useful in this time.
