When Mathilda Paul told her school drama teacher Helen Janke that it was her dream to be on stage, Mrs Janke stopped dead in her tracks.
"That shouldn't be a dream, that's a right," she said.
At the time, Mrs Janke was running Initial Stages, a youth theatre program that she'd managed for 18 years.
After speaking with Paul, she realised that unlike the students in Initial Stages, performers living with disability lacked an inclusive space that would foster their creative passion.
Interest in the program had been fantastic and the result has been beyond expectations.
