Tracy has been working with Amy for several years. In that time she has performed in shows at St Hildas church, and recently at the disability expo. Amy has great joy on stage, and in her dancing, and has positively improved in confidence over this time. Tracy is always patient and encouraging with the young people she works with.

We had 4 lessons of working and developing monologues, focusing on characterisation, interpretation, authenticity and figuring out the intricacies of contrasting characters. Really helped to improve the quality of my monologues.

We enjoyed the Xmas angel very much.Tracy was very uplifting as she brought all the family together to sing beautiful Christmas musicWe recently have had a lot of stress, and being with the angel was just the lift we all needed.I particularly liked the choice of Xmas music as they were well known, but not done to death songs, some carols, and good old fashioned sing a long Xmas cheer songs.We got together as a family, and joined in as the angel handed out books of lyrics.The smaller children danced and my mum got up and let her hair down.Excellent entertainment from the ages of 6 to 96 years old.Highly recommend x

I met Tracy in a retreat weekend and got to know her better.Tracy created a unique dance, drama, and inspiring performance for our retreat weekend. For so many retreats I have been, this is so special and unique.Using a taste of Rumi poetry, her own experience on losing her father at age of 12yrs, she put together dance with prose which she wrote from her heart.We were all very attentive in the audience as she connected with each of us. Bringing a message of love, transition and positivity.As an experienced performer it was choreographed well and attention to costume, sound and lighting for full effect.We also were mentored by her in theatre sports, which were hilarious and a team bonding experience.Also she led an early morning yoga practice with attention to detail for 30 students.What fun we all had and in the hands of a professional yoga teacher too!

In the last couple of years my daughter has been having lessons with Tracy for singing. It’s great that she comes to Orange to do the classes.My Daughter has preformed at St Hilda’s church. Tracy has helped my daughter improve her confidence and the joy she get when preforming. my daughter just absolutely adores Tracy and looks forward to her lessons.

I found Tracy’s acting classes between lockdowns and it was a great place to ease back into the world.Even when lockdowns came into play we continued our group classes online. It was a great way for me to build up confidence & consistency in regards to learning monologues and getting up in front of people again.Tracy has so much energy, and her background in musical theatre pushed my performance comfort zone further again. In our private sessions Tracy taught elements I was nervous to approach, such and singing and choreography.She made trying something new a little bit less scary. I believe this element of her teaching style helped me grow as a performer and start auditioning for acting schools & roles.Thanks Tracy for being a part of my journey as a performer.

Along with my co-worker from our care company Livebetter we escorted our group of older citizens with various issues, to Tracy Hardwicks sing-along at the Senior Citizens Hub. We were all a little trepidatious at first but Tracy put us all at ease and in no time we were enthusiastically singing our hearts out guided lovingly along by Tracy and her volunteers. The council provided a lovely afternoon tea to top it off. Everyone was kind and attentive to our group and other Citizens who attended. We would love for this to happen again on a regular basis.

I really loved your presentation on Saturday night Tracy. In particular it showed the value of art/theatre as a contribution towards real life experience. You were able to express things in a very thought-provoking and deep way without a sense of lecturing and without making to listen to feel uncomfortable in any way. Really well done.

I joined Tracy Hardwick's drama group. I was nervous and unsure of myself.The activities and how they were presented allowed me to engage with the group and myself.Each session, I was more and more excited to attend. Each session I expanded myself with confidence and gusto. I developed a strong trust in the small group and trust in my director. Acting became demystified for me. I declared myself an actor and have gone on to collaborate with other actors and perform scenes I never dreamed I could do.I now have the confidence and the skill base to present bold, solo poetry performances that serve my passion.Tracy, seemingly effortlessly, creates a safe container to excel in a fun and entertaining way.Moreover, I have created kind and caring friendships with like minded souls.I recommend Tracy as a serious and safe option to people interested in extending themselves through drama.
