Join Rebel Stepz Arts for a unique and creative experience designed for young people. Inner Artist is an interactive theatre experience for children combining storytelling and visual art!
This play reading made its debut hosted by The City of Melbourne Biblitoeca Pop Up Library and was facilitated by the writer Lisette Drew, Rebel Stepz Arts, and actress, Christie Whelan-Browne.
This unique play reading draws children into a colourful world of visual art and history, encouraging them to immerse themselves into the lives of three, culturally diverse artists (Frida Kahlo, Sidney Nolan and Hokusai) who use art to express themselves and their stories.
Inner Artist shines a light on different cultures, beliefs and traditions and encourages the audience to discover multiculturalism through the storytelling.
The most exciting part? Children take part in creative and fun drawing exercises becoming an active audience and part of the play reading.
During the reading, students are prompted by an expert art teacher and encouraged to create their own works of art inspired by the reading. Each art exercise encourages students to draw on their emotions, experiences, feelings and imagery.
A friendly reminder that the Zoom meeting is locked after the start time to avoid impeding the session and disrupting other attendees.

Myself and my collective, Rebel Stepz, believes in making the Arts accessible to our community.
We create a fun, safe, educational and creative environment where people of all ages can not only connect with each other, but also with their creativity and with the amazing talent we have facilitating our workshops.
Every workshop we hold is an opportunity for everyone to discover a facet of the arts, whether that be through painting, singing, dancing, craftwork, film, acting, dance or music.
Rebel Stepz offers fun and educational corporate team building activities globally that increase workplace wellbeing, and encourages creativity whilst improving team morale.
Workshops can be organised in person (for those based in Melbourne) or online for other areas of Australia and worldwide.
Rebel Stepz also offers live entertainment for your event which can include live musicians and dancers and even a custom piece that can be produced and choreographed especially for your event.
About me!
I commenced my dance journey at the tender age of 5, eventually earning a scholarship to The Royal Ballet London) and transitioning to full-time training by age 11. Alongside my rigorous training, I performed with The Royal Ballet Company and various European dance companies, also delving into choreography and pioneering roles in new productions.
In the early 2000s, I embarked on curating and facilitating creative workshops for community organizations, striving to democratize the arts and extend its reach to underprivileged communities. This endeavor involved collaboration with company directors, educators, and health professionals to craft inclusive and educational arts programs.
Augmenting my dance background, I pursued a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism and Creative Writing, nurturing her passion for literature, writing, and poetry. Concurrently, she assumed the role of Assistant Manager at a West End Theatre, overseeing daily operations and Front of House management. My involvement in community radio sparked an interest in sound engineering, leading her to earn a diploma and subsequently work in the live music industry.
Upon relocating to Melbourne in 2009, I leveraged my extensive experience and network in the arts to establish Rebel Stepz. This multicultural arts organization comprises diverse talents spanning theater technicians, set and costume designers, dancers, choreographers, musicians, writers, and artists. Together with Rebel Stepz, I curate events, workshops, programs, and production packages, catering to various projects all over the world.
I persist in my multifaceted roles as a choreographer, facilitator, event manager, producer and mentor. Continuously evolving, I am presently immersed in the study of sports psychology, aiming to apply my insights to support artists and performers in their endeavors.
