About Us :

ABOUT US:

BeXD Create is a fast growing performing arts and production company that delivers engaging and educational workshops in drama, singing and dance to children, teens and adults across South-East Queensland.

Our youth curriculum focuses on not only helping students develop skills in acting, singing and movement, but also aims to build confidence, social skills and resilience. Our goal is for students to build their stage and screen skills and also feel more confident to raise their hand at school, help a friend in need or learn and grow from setbacks.

We work with people from all walks of life including neurodiverse students, students with disabilities and kids, teens and adults from all different backgrounds, cultures and skill levels. At BeXD Create, we celebrate that everyone is unique (including you!).
