No Strings Attached

Inspired by Tama Jarman's award winning Short and Sweet Dance Festival piece, No Strings Attached was a heart-warming tale of discovering your true worth despite negativity from those around you. In this 40 minute tale, we explored themes of self worth and self discovery, all cleverly wrapped up in a playful comedy that kids loved. The show toured for 3 years and was well received by all schools that received it.


Great to see some of our students who don’t laugh a lot with a huge smile on their faces.
— Lesley Gardner, Teacher, Starship Hospital
This form of drama is a great vehicle for learning.
— Gail Waterhouse, Assistant Principal, Puhinui School
You had everyone from year 1 – 8 fully engaged and delighted, and staff, myself included, laughing throughout.
— Wayne Leighton, Royal Road School.

Before each show, a workshop was held giving students an opportunity to work alongside our industry professionals before then starring in the show.
