to the Dudley Creek diversion,”<br />
said city council planning and<br />

Home for theatre sought<br />
• By Natalie Pham<br />
THREE MOTHERS are attempting<br />
to make Christchurch the best city<br />
to be in as a child.<br />
A permanent space for children<br />
to enjoy theatre experiences is<br />
what Edgeware’s Amy Straker,<br />
Burwood’s Melanie Luckman<br />
and Waltham’s Hannah Wheeler<br />
have been hoping for.<br />
The mothers behind Cubbin<br />
Theatre Company have hosted<br />
more than 90 performances to<br />
thousands of children under five<br />
across the city.<br />
They are now in the second<br />
stage of applying for a $280,000<br />
grant from the Ministry for<br />
Culture and Heritage for their<br />
project Ōtautahi Children’s Performing<br />
Arts Initiative.<br />
This round requires public<br />
feedback on the project, which<br />
will close on Sunday.<br />
A decision on the next stage<br />
will be made in late December.<br />
Then, the team will need to go<br />
through two more rounds before<br />
knowing whether it will receive<br />
the funding.<br />
If approved, the grant will go<br />
towards securing a lease, creating<br />
workshops for parents and artists,<br />
and providing high-quality<br />
performances.<br />
It all started four years ago<br />
after mother-of-two Luckman<br />
realised there were no artistic<br />
experiences offered for the underfive<br />
age group.<br />
Being a theatre director,<br />
she discussed the idea with<br />
experienced actors Straker and<br />
Wheeler.<br />
Said Luckman: “We have a really<br />
strong vision for wanting highquality<br />
works for under five.”<br />
