How We Work

Rc-Annie has always believed that to be creative, we need the freedom and safety of a non-judgemental, non-biased, non-exploitative environment. We recognise that the first day can be a nerve wracking experience. Everyone wants to find their place in the room and work in a comfortable, stress-free space. With our approach, we help you in setting up your rehearsal room as an open, honest, supportive and boundaried space where everyone can work at their best.
Comfortable Spaces = Creative Freedom and Excellence.
