My Story

 

Hi. I'm Iain McGuire, The Mad Cow Theatre Company Founder and Director. I grew up having big outdoor adventures. I was free to wander, mostly alone. I played in creeks, jumped off bridges, travelled miles on foot and ate fruit from roadside trees. A derelict factory was my fort. I acted out stories via my imagination in bliss. However, I had very little confidence in the company of others and believed my ability to effectively communicate was flawed.

 

We all feel varying degrees of personal isolation and confusion as we grow up and explore the world on our terms. Drama is the perfect tool to combine our world with the worlds of others. Correctly delivered with support and care, drama, story telling and performance builds empathy and spirit. These two traits combined in balance are cornerstones to developing healthy children. Children who express their unique qualities whilst celebrating the qualities of others.

 

The art of acting frees people from lifes conventional stage. The actor is the artist and the work of art. A person who has developed the ability to turn reality into fantasy... and fantasy into reality.

 

Mad Cow Drama, with our stable of dedicated, skilled and mindful staff, assists young people to develop confidence, focus, and self discipline by enhancing the individual and the group "family". Each class is a family, where the students learn to perform their role. Students will travel from pure mayhem to silence as they explore and collaboarate in learning the boundaries of human nature, and what works to help them feel valued and part of a high functioning team. 

​

We love what we do because we assist the most precise commodity on this earth to be cohesive and abundant in their thoughts, deeds, & communication.

Our role is actually shared parenting with you as it takes a whole community to help grow a child.

 

We hope you join us for a journey together into a brave new world full of feeling, growth and meaning... and we'll keep the drama's in life on the stage
