Performance art revs up lessons on waste Wellsford School students participate in a lesson on waste with actor Tineke Robson at an outdoor classroom at the Lawrie Road recycling centre. Between auditioning and preparing for roles on stage and screen, actor and dancer Tineke Robson now has another job – teaching recycling and waste reduction to Mahurangi children. Tineke was approached by Mahurangi Wastebusters founder Trish Allen to join a programme teaching waste education in north Rodney schools. It quickly emerged that Tineke’s drama, dancing and songwriting skills made her a perfect fit for the job. Her lessons have become something of a theatrical performance with plenty of audience interaction and participation.
